Beyond the Polyvagal Theory: How Does the Tail Wag the Dog?

Presented by: David Reynolds

The affective change in EEG, recorded before, after, and in real time, with Vectored Inertial Pelvic Mobilization (VIPM) will be presented in the context of Force and Frequency data profiles for the VIPM. The EEG data will be presented and discussed as a novel frontier for eliciting positive poly vagal modulation and regulation of sympathetic extensor muscle tone.

Learning Objectives:

o  Participant will be able to discuss whether Vectored Inertial Pelvic Mobilization (VIPM) has an effect on EEG output.

o  Participant will be able to discuss the mechanics and neuromodulation potential created by VIPM.

o  Participant will be able to discuss the largely unexplored complexity of pelvic integrative neurology.

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Content builds upon the learner's foundational knowledge, familiarity with the literature and/or experience in a content area. Programming at this level includes more depth than at a beginning level program. It could also serve as a refresher course for individuals who have a background in a content area and are interested in learning more contemporary applications. The primary goal of this particular program is to broaden the clinical, consultative, and research knowledge bases of attendees and was deemed intermediate, by the definition above.  For those psychologists using the modality of biofeedback and interested in efficacy, science, and latest clinical applications. This conference presents research relevant to psychological practice, education, and science; (2) it is our intention to host an offering to help psychologists to keep up with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention, and education; and (3) we believe that this program would allow psychologists to increase competencies to improve services to patients. This conference is IN NO WAY a substitute for the basic academic education and training needed for entry into the field of psychology.
