Net of Knowledge is an exciting, new continuing education platform built specifically for TCM and integrative health practitioners.
We are industry stakeholders who have come together from around the globe with a common mission: to inspire and support practitioners like you in your pursuit of knowledge and growth, so you can keep giving more to the patients and communities you support.
Come learn from some of the brightest minds of our field in our engaging digital environment.
To support your continuous self-development, we wanted to make it easier for you to keep learning from the teachers you love, even when you don’t need the CEUs. A lot of time goes into making the quiz and certificate applications for a course—if you don’t need it, why pay for it?
If you see a course or series you’re interested in, but aren’t sure if you need it towards your CEUs, just purchase the ‘Course Only’ or 'Series Only' option, and start learning right away! If you decide you need the CEUs at a later time, you can purchase the CEU add-on then.
Please note, CEU add-ons can only be applied if you have the course or series in your account, to begin with. If you buy a CEU add-on on its own, you will need to go back and buy the course or series respectively.
You have selected CEUs ONLY option. The CEU add-ons can only be applied to courses you already have in your Net of Knowledge account.
If you have purchased a CEUs ONLY option first by accident, you can come back here and purchase the COURSE ONLY option, and they will link back up automatically.
The instructor, Derrick McBride, has organized tests from the entire body into 3 types of tests that can be easily digested and applied to many conditions all over the body. These types of tests include Compression Based Orthopedic Tests, Tension Based Orthopedic Tests, and Force Based Muscle Tests.
In this course, Tension Based Orthopedic Tests, Derrick McBride presents the global concept of applying tension to anatomical tissues for the diagnosis of orthopedic injuries and local stagnation patterns. Specific examples will be used to show the versatility of the concept presented.
Some examples of tests include:
(1) Ligamentous injuries
(2) Range of motion and soft tissue length
(3) Joint structures
At the end of the course, the students will feel comfortable with multiple ways of applying tensile forces to anatomical tissues for more specific diagnoses of local stagnation patterns. This is a skill set you don't want to miss out on!
The first section is an introduction to applying tensile forces and when to use them.
30 min - 1 hrsNext, we will cover different ways of applying tensile forces depending on the type of anatomy and location of the tissues being targeted.
1 hrs - 2 hrsSpecific examples of easy to implement tension based orthopedic tests will be covered. The student will obtain a library of simple tests that cover multiple parts of the body.
2 hrs - 2.5 hrsSpecific examples of tension based range of motion testing to soft tissue will be covered. The student will obtain a library of these tests that cover multiple parts of the body.
2.5 hrs - 3 hrsTo put into context the use of tension based tests, compression and force based tests are introduced.

Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
