Retained Reflexes & Shock

Course (PGIO Sponsored)

The Retained Reflexes and Shock Course unlocks exploration into 70+ primitive and retained reflexes, shows how trauma and shock reactivate hidden neurologic patterns, and delivers hands-on osteopathic training you can apply in your very next clinic day.

Course Description

Target Audience:

This course is designed for DOs, MDs, DDSs, and DMDs who want to deepen their osteopathic practice with advanced hands-on training. It is particularly valuable for physicians and dentists seeking to recognize and treat trauma and retained reflexes—neurologic barriers to healing that often go undetected.

Eligibility:

• Physicians (DO/MD)

• Dentists (DDS/DMD)

• Physicians in Training (DO/MD)

Prerequisite:

None

Course Overview:

Trauma and retained reflexes silently block healing in patients of all ages—yet most osteopaths and dentists are not trained to identify or release them. This weekend course, led by Charles Beck, DO, FAAO, offers rare, practical instruction you can bring directly into your clinic.

In just two days, you will:

• Start Exploration Into 70+ primitive and retained reflexes

• Understand how trauma and shock can reactivate hidden neurologic patterns in adults

• Gain hands-on osteopathic training you can apply on your very next clinic day
