Evidence-Based Muscle Testing: Reclaim the Clinical Power of MMT

Presented by: Dr. Norman Hoffman
Modern practitioners are waking up to a hard truth: Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) is either misused or misunderstood — often both. Whether you’re a chiropractor, physiotherapist, medical doctor, naturopath, or acupuncturist, you’ve likely encountered muscle testing… but not like this. The Evidence-Based Muscle Testing course is the definitive clinical training designed to ground MMT in neuroscientific integrity, biomechanical accuracy, and current peer-reviewed research. What You’ll Learn: This is NOT your standard MMT workshop. You’ll dive into rigorous, evidence-backed protocols to master:
  • 23 distinct upper extremity muscles: Learn how to test each one correctly for valid clinical data — no more guesswork, no more false negatives.
  • 13 major sites of upper extremity nerve entrapment: Accurately identify and differentiate entrapments to build truly specific treatment plans.
  • Novel cervical disc syndrome models: Diagnose and manage cervical disc involvement in functional movement cases with clarity.
  • Central Nervous System lesion localization: Using advanced functional neurology methods, you’ll assess and pinpoint dysfunctions across:
  • Frontal / Prefrontal Cortex
  • Temporal / Parietal Lobes
  • Thalamic Pathways
  • Brainstem: Midbrain, Pons, Medulla
  • Cerebellum
  • Spinal Cord
  • Functional Neurology treatments: Get hands-on exposure to therapeutic strategies for each CNS region tested — elevate your treatment to match your diagnosis.
Why This Course Matters: Most practitioners give up on doing muscle testing as more than just a mere formality. Those who persist are left with a confounding jumble of approaches that, quite frankly, don’t hold up to scientific rigor. There is tremendous value in MMT, but only if you know what to look for, and what to avoid. This course will:
  • Expose the limitations of conventional MMT use.
  • Equip you with neuro-functional tools to identify subtle central and peripheral dysfunctions.
  • Train you to use MMT as a legitimate, evidence-based neurological input/output tool, not just a strength test.
Built on Research. Backed by Results. Our model is derived from the current scientific literature across neurology, manual therapy, and biomechanics. You’ll walk away with a clinically validated system for testing and treatment — not opinions, not techniques, but tested frameworks. Who Should Attend:
  • Chiropractors and chiropractic students
  • Physiotherapists
  • Medical doctors
  • Naturopathic doctors
  • Acupuncturists
  • Functional neurologists
  • Manual therapists who want science-aligned skills
If you’re ready to:
  • Stop relying on outdated or disproven techniques
  • Learn MMT that holds up under peer-reviewed scrutiny
  • Expand your neurological assessment capacity
  • Build a truly interdisciplinary, brain-based practice
Then this course is your next professional move. What attendees say who have applied this approach in their practices:
  • “This is one of the best starting points for a chiropractor looking to get involved in neuro”
  • “I now have quick and specific tests to identify if this is a brain issue, nerve root, peripheral nerve, muscle, etc.”
  • “This program is for anyone wanting to enter into the world of functional neurology.  It allows one to apply the material quickly and efficiently.”
  • “This program delivers in its ability to enable Monday Morning application.”
  • “If you want a step-by-step approach to patient care, take this course”
  • “I really value having more of a working model to analyze and adjust from a neurological perspective.”
  • “The most important thing I gained was a system for practical application of neurology in practice.”
  • “TAKE THIS COURSE because you can change lives and have so much more in your toolbox.”
  • “I would it recommend to my colleagues who are interested in treating more complex disorders”
  • “I’ve already texted two practitioners that they NEED to take this course”
