Where primitive reflexes were once saved for the youngest, the eldest, and the most infirmed in society, now functional neurology has revealed their greater application for general human performance. With his Receptor Based Solutions, Dr. Michael Allen shares his unique clinical approach to primitive reflexes using manual muscle testing as functional neurology. Accordingly, what used to be considered impossible has become a clinical expectation. These revolutionary ideas have earned Dr. Allen international acclaim in tens of countries on four different continents. The human nervous system is receptor driven; it is plastic. It is activated and stimulated through the various ways that generate a motor response. The appropriate sensory input shapes a proper motor response. However, when the sensory input is askew the motor display will be likewise flawed. Detecting these dysfunctional receptors before they become deep seated neuroplastic anomalies is the key to Dr. Allen's Receptor Based Solutions. Discover how to encourage positive plasticity in your patient's neuraxis by restoring functional receptor stimulation. Learn to apply Dr. Allen's innovative functional tests on every patient and promote positive changes in their health. Read Receptor Based Solutions; Functional Neurology Concepts Every Doctor Should Know and realize he simple secrets to optimizing your patient's nervous system today!

This open access book sets out the stress-system model for functional somatic symptoms in children and adolescents. The book begins by exploring the initial encounter between the paediatrician, child, and family, moves through the assessment process, including the formulation and the treatment contract, and then describes the various forms of treatment that are designed to settle the child’s dysregulated stress system. This approach both provides a new understanding of how such symptoms emerge – typically, through a history of recurrent or chronic stress, either physical or psychological – and points the way to effective assessment, management, and treatment that put the child (and family) back on the road to health and well-being.
