Course: “Trigger
point is an essential knowledge all
health professionals should be made aware of.” “A
perfect amount of hands-on and
individual assistance from instructors.” “I
wish I could take a full sized course in trigger point therapy.” –

in this workshop: - Detailed palpation techniques of muscles for trigger points, treatment techniques, post-treatment protocol, latent / active TrPs, contraindications. - How TrPs play a major role in “Frozen Shoulder”, shoulder joint pain and ROM issues. - The muscles that play a causal role in headache and migraine - and how to deactivate their trigger points. - How exercise affects trigger points in the rotator cuff muscles. - How TrPs always affect muscle strength and performance and why muscle performance always improves when trigger points are removed. - How stress, medications, over-use, trauma and skeletal abnormalities affect TrPs. - The effects of heat / ice on TrPs.
