During this one-day 8 hour CEU class, practitioners will build confidence in assessing myofascial dysfunction and practice applying the therapeutic Functional NeuroMyoFascial TechniquesTM for the hips, shoulders and neck. Step-by-step protocols for evaluating and treating “Mover-Stabilizer” muscles will be demonstrated, followed by practicums to gain hands-on experience in utilizing specific active, dynamic manual therapy techniques to provide pain relief, activate stabilizers and restore functional mobility. These techniques are easy to apply in supine and designed for myofascial trigger point therapists, myofascial bodyworkers, and massage therapists eager to learn more about myofascial pain and dysfunction

Learning Outcomes: Students will demonstrate proficiency in assessing myofascial pain & dysfunction and identify common pain pattern in the hips, shoulders and neck; be able to identify active and latent trigger points; be able to identify distortions and weaknesses in different combinations of “Mover and Stabilizer muscles”; and be able to demonstrate basic competence in applying specific dynamic Functional NeuroMyoFascial TechniquesTM during therapeutic massage/bodywork or myofascial trigger point therapy.
