Applied Movement Neurology

The shoulder three therapists couldn’t shift. The knee that still hurts after months of rehab. Learn the muscle test that shows what the nervous system has switched off, the reset that switches it back on, and the re-test your client feels before they leave the room.

01 · What is AMN

The system behind every movement.

AMN stands for Applied Movement Neurology. Strength, range of motion, balance, coordination and pain are outputs of the nervous system: the brainstem, cerebellum, vestibular system and eyes decide what a muscle is allowed to do. AMN teaches you to test that control with the muscle test, find where it has dropped, and restore it through movement, sensory input and hands-on techniques.

02 · Why AMN

The knee still hurts.

You've done the mobility work. Most trainers hit the same wall: clients whose pain or weakness does not shift with exercise alone. That is usually a control problem, and control lives in the nervous system.

“Being a certified AMN practitioner has lifted my skills to a heightened level that puts me above all other PTs in my area.” Dr Jamie Rockwin, Adjunct Professor, Hofstra University
In the session

Show the change before they leave.

Test, reset, re-test. Your client feels the difference in strength or range on the spot.

Retention

Clients come back for new goals.

When the nervous system holds the change, clients stop returning with the same problem and book in for the next goal.

Hard cases

Knee, shoulder, back, balance.

The tools to work with pain and movement problems that exercise alone has not fixed.

Flexible

Learn around your clients.

Online courses with lifetime access. Study between sessions, rewatch any time.

03 · How it works

Test. Reset. Re-test.

One loop you run in every session. Your client feels the change, and you can show it.

  1. The whole loop

    One session, three moves.

    Every AMN session follows the same loop, so you always know what to do next and your client always sees the result.

  2. 01

    Test

    Manual muscle tests, joint range of motion and simple neurological tests show which muscles are misfiring and which system is behind it.

  3. 02

    Reset

    Nervous-system techniques, such as the ventral horn technique and nerve mobilisations, restore the signal between muscle and brain.

  4. 03

    Re-test and reintegrate

    Test again to prove the change, then lock it in with attentive movement: balance, coordination and drills chosen from the client's own results.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I need a medical or neurology background?

No. AMN is written for trainers and movement professionals. CES teaches just enough neuroanatomy for you to understand why the techniques work, then puts them straight into practice.

Are the courses online?

Yes. CES, Level 1 and Level 2 are online courses with lifetime access, so you can study between clients and come back to any lesson.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. Every course can be paid in full or split into 2 monthly payments at checkout.

Where should I start?

Most people start with the New Student Bundle (CES + Level 1). To try the approach first, get the free Calibrate Screening Tools or the £67 C-Spine workshop. Compare every course.

Is AMN a medical treatment?

No. AMN is an exercise-based system. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions and does not replace medical advice. Clients with new or unexplained pain should see a medical professional first.

Movement patterns are the scaffolding on which cognition is built.
