Shoulders and Migraine
Attendees discover that there’s much more to Trigger Point Therapy than simply following an illustration to inactivate a specific TrP.
Our CE workshops are known around the world for their high standard of instruction and comprehensive approach.
Our instructors have thoroughly studied and practiced (over many years) the seminal work of Drs. Janet Travell and David Simons.
It’s not another thing we do… it’s the only thing we do.
This 6 hour, CE workshop is ideal for massage therapists, bodyworkers, physiotherapists, and other interested fitness and health professionals who would like ‘in-depth’ instruction on locating and treating myofascial trigger points.
The workshop will cover the above issues and attendees will be locating and treating TrPs in the infraspinatus, supraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis (rotator cuff muscles). As well, the latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major/minor, serratus anterior, rhomboids, teres major, trapezius, levator scapulae, SCM, scalenes, and other neck and head muscles related to this workshop.
We’ll also discuss TrPs in TMJ related muscles and their role in TMJD
- detailed palpation techniques of muscles for trigger points, treatment techniques, post-treatment protocol, latent / active TrPs, contraindications.
