Understanding Trigger Points to Overcome Pain with William N. Huhn Course Description: This workshop covers basic information on myofascial trigger points and how they play a role in acute and chronic pain issues. Trigger points will affect muscles in the sedentary or athletic body and can cause a considerable amount of long term misery if you are unfamiliar with their behavior and how to remove them.
This workshop is not designed nor intended to make you a trigger point expert. The objective here is to focus some light on myofascial pain and a type of bodywork that has been overlooked and misunderstood for far too long, especially in the fitness arena. As fitness professionals, you are educated with the topic of muscles and related anatomy/physiology. You are also familiar with nutrition as it relates to mental and physical performance. I know from experience, that your dedication and attitude regarding health and fitness, will often inspire your clients to progress to a physical and mental fitness level they might not have attained without your support and guidance. Even though you are dedicated professionals, there are times when you may be puzzled regarding a client's physical progress. “Why is this person in pain”? “Why are they not building muscle”? “Why is their particular problem not getting better”? The client is usually looking to you for the answers. What do you tell them?

in this workshop: - Myofascial Trigger Points are real - Causes of trigger point formation - Trigger points refer pain in predictable patterns - Trigger points affect muscle, fascia and ligaments - Other symptoms that trigger points produce - Susceptibility to trigger points - Vitamins and minerals; their relationship to muscle health - How to carry out basic "trigger points" assessment of your client - How to physically train a client when trigger points are suspected - Hands-on practice finding trigger points - The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: by Clair Davies, N.C.T.M.B. - Travell and Simons, M.D. and their contributions to Trigger Point To See Video and Photos of Bill in Action – Click Here We'll also look at
