Full Seminar Description

Discover neuromuscular, soft tissue and deep tissue techniques for relief of acute and chronic pain of the upper extremities including thoracic outlet syndrome, frozen shoulder, migraine, whiplash, TMJ and common sports injuries.

Over 34 million Americans are affected or limited by chronic pain conditions, many related to head, neck and shoulder problems. Athletes and physically active individuals are especially susceptible to injuries in these areas. Common conditions, including migraine, whiplash, thoracic outlet syndrome, frozen shoulder and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), produce physically and financially devastating effects. Therapists and other professionals working with individuals experiencing head, neck and shoulder pain need strategies to provide relief from these conditions, as well as to understand the role of the multidisciplinary team in helping clients recover. A variety of manual therapy techniques are useful in treating injuries and pain conditions of the upper extremity.

In this hands-on seminar you will learn the fundamentals of a result-based approach to treatment of chronic pain and injuries of the upper extremity. Participants will examine therapeutic techniques for assessment and treatment of head, neck and shoulder issues. Extensive lab time will be allowed for performing and perfecting neuromuscular, soft tissue and deep tissue techniques, including muscle restore technique, trigger point therapy and myofascial release. Working with an instructor with over 20 years of experience, you will receive practical strategies for providing complete and comprehensive treatment. This cross-over course is designed to benefit a variety of professions at various levels of experience. You will leave with new skills you can immediately use with clients experiencing chronic pain and dysfunction of the head, neck and upper extremity.
