These 2 CPD workshops are designed for qualified massage therapists who are looking to enhance their skills in assessing and treating the musculoskeletal system. All techniques are on the couch.
Posture Assessment & Counter-strain
- The plumb line and the four main posture types: How to identify them and the areas to correct.
- Active examination: How to assess your client
- Counter-strain techniques: These gentle techniques are used to treat a range of muscle-related problems. They work by locating the origins and insertion points of a muscle and by using the body’s own levers to take it out of strain.
Sciatica Assessment & Muscle Energy Techniques
- Sciatica – How to properly assess and treat the different forms of this common yet often misdiagnosed condition.
- Practical muscle location and palpation – How to locate the origins and insertions of key muscles prone to injury.
- Muscle Energy Techniques are used by Physios and other healthcare practitioners to treat both chronic and acute muscle shortening. We will work with muscle reflexes in order to stretch and achieve true muscle lengthening in commonly tight areas.
