innervation and the Austin unloading response, inverse
myotactic reflex and PNF, and practical workshop.

application, common errors, practice drills and practical
workshop.
• Trigenics Treatment Procedures Theory and Principles:
Trigenics® strengthening (TS), Trigenics® lengthening (TL).
• Initial Trigenics® treatment procedures to familiarize the
students with performing the treatment protocols.

Treatment Triad for Trigenics® strengthening (TS) and
Trigenics® lengthening (TL) procedures.
• How to be a Trigenics® patient, • How to instruct patient
involvement in Trigenics treatment.
