A special event combining both of our first two class offerings in one four day package!

Course 1:

This course is designed to introduce you to the concept of myofascial pain and trigger point referral patterns and instruct you in the art of muscle palpation for trigger points. You will also be introduced to the concept of myofascial release and specific myofascial release techniques.

This is the initial course in a series that will systematically take you through how to evaluate and treat pain and dysfunction anywhere in the body.

Course Objectives:

Name the clinical characteristics of myofascial pain syndrome

Identify trigger points by referral pattern and palpation

Understand underlying perpetuating factors

Understand myofascial trigger points versus myofascial release techniques

Apply a variety of treatment techniques for myofascial pain

Course 2:

This workshop is designed to give you an understanding of structural and postural asymmetries and how to correct them using trigger point release and myofascial release techniques. It will also cover specific referral patterns from individual muscles. These techniques are used for low back pain, hip pain and to balance and align the pelvis.

Course Objectives:

Complete a comprehensive postural evaluation

Identify and treat specific trigger points in the pelvis and lower extremities
