Nervous System Pathologies eBook

This Nervous System Pathologies eBook is a focused companion guide for MBLEx students seeking to master one of the most complex body systems on the exam. It breaks down key neurological conditions—such as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and more—highlighting their causes, symptoms, and how to adapt massage or bodywork appropriately. Students will gain a deep understanding of different types of pain (e.g., acute vs. chronic, somatic vs. visceral), contraindications for massage, and red flag symptoms that require referral. This guide includes three interactive worksheet exercises designed to promote critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and integration of safety considerations. A 10-question MBLEx-style practice test wraps up the section, helping students confidently prepare for pathology-related questions on the exam.
