Extremity Adjusting, (4 x 12 hours of practical seminars) back when he was at studying Chiropractic there wasn’t much emphasis on the treatment of the limbs, this course added to manual therapy particularly joint manipulation of the limbs and feet.
Functional Neurology Course (18 x 25 hour theory and practical seminars) covering neuroscience and practical applications of manual therapies and various rehabilitation techniques and exercises.
The changes seen in these children led to Darren working in three local schools, treating the children that teachers had identified as having learning difficulties. Darren has worked for the Local Education Authority and the Charitable Foundation of British Teachers in three local schools. He consulted with selected children, their parents and teaching assistants at the school, then provided manual therapy, prescribed a neurological rehabilitation program consisting of eye, balance and cognitive brain exercises, computer programs plus dietary advice.
