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.
- 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.
- Chiropractors and chiropractic students
- Physiotherapists
- Medical doctors
- Naturopathic doctors
- Acupuncturists
- Functional neurologists
- Manual therapists who want science-aligned skills
- Stop relying on outdated or disproven techniques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
- “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”
