In this episode, I had the pleasure to sit down with Michael Shacklock DipPhysio, MAppSc, FACP, to discuss Neurodynamics and why and how to integrate this skill set into your chiropractic practice. 

Michael received his graduate qualification at the Auckland School of Physiotherapy, New Zealand, in 1980. He worked in public hospitals in the medical, surgical, pediatrics, orthopedics, geriatrics, intensive care, and burns areas around New Zealand before being employed in private practices, treating spinal and sports injuries in Nelson with Michael Monaghan and Auckland with Margaret Franklin. 

 In 1985, he moved to Adelaide, Australia, where he worked at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and private practices around Adelaide. He completed a Graduate Diploma in Advanced Manipulative Therapy in 1989 and converted this to a Master’s degree at the University of South Australia in 1993. He was awarded a Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists (Australian Physiotherapy Association) for his monograph and international best-seller textbook, Clinical Neurodynamics
