Effective Treatment of Common Pain Patterns

Effective Treatment of Common Pain Patterns: Triggerpoint, NMT, DeepTissue

Joyce McKinley

This course is intended to provide the developing therapist with techniques to manage common, specific soft tissue complaints that often present during a massage session. We will explore the possibilities of cause, the symptoms, and certain effective treatment for issues such as: TMJ syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, psoas pain and dysfunction, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff imbalance and pain, and gluteal/IT band dysfunction; possible additional technique, time permitting. These applications may be used to augment a ‘routine’ massage or as stand alone treatments for pain relief.
