What is Functional Neurology Essentials? (FNE)
Functional Neurology Essentials, formally known as (RBE) is a state-of-the-art program that teaches healthcare practitioners from any discipline the art and science of nervous system optimization. It achieves this by integrating multiple models of brain function with well-established principles in neurophysiology & clinical neuroscience and by delivering that information in an easily understandable and applicable manner.
Who is this class for?
Functional Neurology Essentials will appeal to any healthcare practitioner wanting a fast and effective way to learn and implement the fundamental principles involved in nervous system optimization & Functional Neurology into their patient care. The program will also appeal to practitioners who appreciate hands-on, evidence-based clinical training, as one of the program’s main components includes a four-day live training session.
The healthcare professionals that can attend this program are MD, DC, DO, PT, OT, ATC, LMT, ND, LAc, PA, NP, and CA (If accompanied by DC).
The Treatment Approach Taught in Functional Neurology Essentials
Functional Neurology Essentials utilizes a receptor-based treatment paradigm in which partitioners stimulate various receptor systems at specific intensities and patterns to promote nervous system optimization.
Not all sensory input is beneficial in treating neurological dysfunction. Functional Neurology Essentials teaches assessment strategies that allow you to select the most appropriate receptor system, pattern, and intensity. By better understanding how your therapies achieve their results, you will better serve your patient/client population.
Why Learn Functional Neurology?
Optimizing one's nervous system creates an environment for maximum healing while simultaneously maximizing the human potential.
Our nervous system controls all our bodily functions, actions, and reactions. Many diseases often involve negative changes within the central nervous system that further promote and contribute to the initial illness. It is becoming more evident that many diseases can also originate from dysfunction within the CNS, requiring practitioners to know about these relationships, especially when patients fail to respond to standard treatments.
Leveraging functional neurology to optimize nervous system function refers to the process of stimulating the CNS with the goal of restoring optimal functional connectivity. It relies on two critical elements for its success: the first neurogenesis and the second neuroplasticity. Neurogenesis refers to the creation of new neurons, while neuroplasticity refers to the ability of our nervous system to rewire and optimize itself.
Thus, optimizing one’s nervous system creates an environment for maximum healing while simultaneously maximizing the human potential.
The Diagnostic Path Taught in Functional Neurology Essentials
Functional Neurology Essentials teaches a tried-and-true method for evaluating and treating disorders of the CNS. It involves the following general process:
The Top Things Functional Neurology Essentials Will Teach You
How to observe your patient through a neurological lens.
Most current models concerning brain function and their clinical implications
How to apply the Brain Hemisphericity/Lateralization model to your current treatment approach
Best practices techniques involving intake questionnaires and treatment outcome measurements
Neurological Screens Including:
- Neuro Visual Screens
- Proprioceptive Screens
- Somatosensory Screens
- Autonomic Screens
- Balance Screens
- Gait Assessment
Examination procedures confirming the anatomical localization of CNS dysfunction
- Core Physical and Neurological Exam Procedures
- Specialty Physical and Neurological Exam Procedures
Treatment applications addressing the anatomical site of CNS dysfunction
Applying the ten principles of plasticity to any treatment plan

What Sets Functional Neurology Essentials Apart from Other Programs?
Optimizing one's nervous system creates an environment for maximum healing while simultaneously maximizing the human potential.
One of the main elements that sets Functional Neurology Essentials apart from any other programs is the methodology used in its creation. While many programs are created using information solely from textbooks, we started developing Functional Neurology Essentials by doing a job analysis on some of the most successful Functional Neurology practitioners in the world.
The results allowed us to identify three critical criteria used in the writing of the program:
Type of patients Functional Neurology practitioners commonly treat.
The most common practical clinical assessments and applications utilized by these practitioners.
The academic concepts that these doctors felt contributed most to their learning of the material.
This knowledge enabled us to establish the most fundamentally effective examination procedures to help anatomically localize the area of CNS dysfunction and identify the most effective receptor-based therapy to treat it.
We then performed a literature search to construct an extensive library of evidence supporting nearly every concept and procedure taught in this program.

Re-attendance policy: Scholars who have registered and completed the program (including the 4-day format or the 5-module series in its entirety) have the ability to re-attend the course with no additional fee. When re-attending a course, the scholar will not receive continuing education credits and will receive an audit. Carrick Institute is not responsible for providing new materials for class audits, including but not limited to manuals, shirts, equipment, etc. If manuals have been updated since the original attendance date, the updated materials will be available via PDF on the scholar’s online portal. If the scholar would like to purchase a new paper manual, they may do so before the course start date.
The All-access and re-attendance as part of your Functional Neurology tuition are specific to the Functional Neurology program. The re-attendance is considered an audit of the course material and does not yield CE or CEU credits. It does transfer to other programs offered by the Carrick Institute.

Continuing Education
Continuing education requirements to maintain certification status through a professional association are usually separate from the state board’s requirements. In order to maintain your certification status in your state please submit a State Continuing Education Application Form.
*We cannot guarantee approval for individual state CEUS. Each state has different rules and regulations. State Applications need to be submitted at least 90 days prior to the state date of your course*
Recertification / Diplomate Requirements: All Carrick Institute courses are approved by the ACFN & ACNB.
