Saturday and Sunday 9:00 AM-6:00 PM (Saturday Registration starts at 8:30 AM) For FSM practitioners that have completed Foundations 1 in the last year and are wanting to incorporate novel NeuroMyoFascial Techniques to improve their outcomes and solve complex pain issues.
HUMANS ADAPT! Assessing today’s movement from yesterday’s (yesterYEAR’S) injuries enables you to identify NeuroMyoFascial adaptations and compensatory patterns.
Your clients spend their lives walking, driving, dancing, playing sports, AND… Humans MOVE!
It’s time to learn how to assess and treat their “Moving Violations”
In this 2-day, hands-on intensive workshop, you’ll learn how to figure out those funky, dysfunctional movement patterns and then…
Address the pain at its source, providing lasting myofascial pain relief.
When treating pain from myofascial trigger points & dysfunction is not enough: Learn to see Dynamic Myofascial Dysfunctions in everyone’s unique gait & behavior
- Recognize associated mechanical & systemic ramifications of myofascial dysfunction
- Learn why incorporating FSM from the beginning of treatment is essential for addressing the CNS (Central Nervous System) & PNS (Peripheral Nervous System) to lasting results in the NeuroMyoFascial system.
Effective therapy for hidden NeuroMyoFascial Dysfunctions: How to leverage the interactivity between the brain, peripheral nervous system, myofascial network & aberrant movement patterns
- The BRILLIANT efficiency of the brain encourages INSTANT adaptive “solutions” that result in “functional” dysfunction
- How injured muscles LEARN “the right wrong thing” that lead to ongoing dysfunctional adaptations so we can continue to function until pain STOPS US
- Learn how to find the “story behind the story” … something you were never taught in school
- Take a journey through the miraculous NeuroMyoFascial system: how and why it REALLY holds & releases pain patterns, postural compensations, old physical trauma and emotions
Restore functional movement by activating KEY Stabilizer Muscles and affecting Mover Muscles with dynamic manual therapy techniques & the Walking Release™ Method
- GRAVITY is your friend: Learn to utilize this “assistant therapist” for immediate results
- Stabilizers! The muscle function you likely never learned in school: Learn how to reactivate these key muscles and instantly restore bio-mechanical ease
- Once you are STABLE … You can MOVE! Understand the function of Movers: Learn the techniques to release & re-educate these key MOVER muscles
- Learn the fascinating relationship between agonist and antagonist muscles: You’ve seen this in your practice, but what does it really mean? You’ll get it, as soon as you see it!
Learning Objectives
- Integrate FSM protocols to quickly modulate the CNS/PNS, incorporate probe techniques to quickly address scar tissue, address long standing dysfunctional NeuroMyoFascial patterns and pain.
- Gain a deeper understanding of overlooked causes of Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction from a NeuroMyoFascial perspective
- Gain a deeper understanding of how the CNS directs and controls all functional and dysfunctional movement
- Be able to quickly identify dysfunction in the "Mover and Stabilizer muscles" that can lead to, or be the culprit of your patients' pain
- Be able to identify specific myofascial pain pattern maps associated with neck, shoulder, hip and low back pain
- Learn the critical stabilizer muscles and how to PROPERLY activate them
- Review the Be able to design patient-specific “gravity-assisted movement release” protocols after evaluating for issues with flexion, extension or rotation Childhood Experiences research (ACEs) as it relates to chronic pain, disability, addiction and disease
- Gain an appreciation for long-standing and acute dysfunction driven by the brain/central nervous system which is "simply compensating for an injury/dysfunction/trauma/catastrophic event”
- Gain a deeper understanding of the EMOTIONAL impact of injury or trauma on the NeuroMyoFascial and limbic systems.
- Review the Adverse Childhood Experiences research (ACEs) as it relates to chronic pain, disability, addiction and disease
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the workshop physicians and practitioners will be able to:
- Differentiate between active trigger points, latent trigger points, fascial distortion & scarring
- Identify more serious neurological issues perpetuating myofascial pain
- Identify the genesis of aberrant movement patterns & distorted biomechanics
- Identify the impact of injuries on the NeuroMyoFascial system
- Apply specific active, dynamic NeuroMyoFascial manual therapy techniques to safely and quickly address their patient's myofascial pain and dysfunction using the Mover Stabilizer Model & Method™
- Demonstrate basic competence in applying the Walking Release™ method to treat dynamic postural dysfunctions
- Recognize emotional somatic dysfunction that may linger after old injuries and trauma
Apply powerful microcurrent protocols to support restoration of natural neuro- electrical flow for movement through resonance
This Hybrid Workshop includes Foundations 1: Frequency Specific Microcurrent: Clinical Applications for Acute & Persistent Neuropathic, Myofascial, and Emotional Pain this is part of the Bundle. FOR Current FSM Practitioners, if you have not taken an FSM course in the last 2 years, its HIGHLY recommended that you take advantage of the special pricing and enjoy the refresher.
This workshop includes powerful Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) applications:
- Learn Shannon’s powerful FSM algorithm that quickly reduces pain and improves nearly anyones NeuroMyoFascial function
- Learn how to address scars fast and effectively using probes with a proven FSM protocol
- Learn to apply FSM protocols with Functional NeuroMyoFascial Techniques to quickly treat Diastasis Recti
- Receive mobilization & motor sensory reboot protocols to enhance the dynamic treatment techniques you learn in this workshop
