Comprehensive hands-on workshop includes injury assessment and treatment. At this full-day training, you will learn two dozen assessment tests, as well as cross-fiber friction, and myofascial therapy and deep tissue techniques to address pain and injury in some of the most commonly injured structures in the neck, shoulder, low back, and knee. You will also learn the anatomy of these structures as never before through physically locating and palpating each targeted muscle, tendon, and ligament with these techniques. This workshop gives you a comprehensive view of working with these injuries from initial assessment to treatment.

Learn ASSESSMENT TESTING and HANDS-ON TREATMENT for the most commonly injured structures in the following:

  • THE NECK: Injuries to these structures can create headache-like pain as well as referred pain into the arms, hands, upper back and chest.
  • THE LOW BACK: Injuries to these structures can show themselves as low back pain as well as referred pain into the abdomen, hip, thigh, lower leg and foot.
  • THE SHOULDER: Injuries to these structures can refer pain into the axilla, upper arm, and forearm.
  • THE KNEE: The most commonly injured ligaments in this area cause debilitating knee pain and swelling – & many practitioners have never heard of them.

 

WHAT TO BRING:
2 sheets, 1 towel, face cradle covers & massage oil.

WHAT TO WEAR:

Please wear easily movable, loose clothing so that your low back, shoulder and knee can be easily accessed while maintaining a sense of privacy.

READING/PREP:

We will be emailing you a handout a week prior to the class. It is strongly recommended that you print out this handout and bring to class with you (otherwise bring an iPad or other device from which you can access the handout during class).
