SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1:Medical Massage Protocol for Lower Back Pain (Lumbalgia)

Lower Back Pain (LBP) is a general term for various syndromes that contribute to this widespread condition. In other words, it is a multifaceted enemy. Clinical success depends on the therapist’s ability to correctly identify and target the initial triggers, rather than secondary syndromes, which are often the most prominent.

During this course, we will cover the anatomy and pathology of the lumbar area, as well as the necessary evaluation and testing skills to develop a correct treatment strategy for tension in the Lumbar Erectors, the Quadratus Lumborum muscle, and rotators.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Osteoarthritis Hands-On Training Course

This class covers Osteoarthritis (OA) and the chain of pathological events that trigger OA. We will first discuss how to evaluate the soft tissues and joints affected by OA. Afterward, we will showcase the hands-on application of a Medical Massage protocol used to decompress any affected joints and diminish or stop the destructive processes within the cartilage and subchondral bone. During class, we will use knee OA as a clinical example.

Day 3: Soft Tissue Trauma: Leg Compartment Syndrome and Plantar Fasciitis

During the first part of the class, we will teach therapists how to ‘read’ large hematomas to accelerate tissue recovery and prevent the side effects of soft tissue trauma, including fascial adhesions and muscle shortening.

In the second part of the class, we will cover evaluation and Medical Massage protocols for all Leg Compartment Syndromes, and we will conclude the training with hands-on training in a Medical Massage protocol for Plantar Fasciitis.

SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1: Medical Massage Techniques. Hands-On Training Course

Studying and practicing medical massage without a firm scientific understanding of Basic Medical Massage techniques and their clinical application is impossible.

We will cover the science behind clinical variations of Medical Massage techniques developed by the Western School of MT. Some of the presented techniques can be used during full-body massage sessions to build a successful preventive massage therapy practice.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Anterior Scalene Muscle Syndrome/Thoracic Outlet Hands-On Training Course

The Anterior Scalene Muscle Syndrome (ASMS) is nicknamed the “Silent Killer” in somatic medicine. In clinical reality, ASMS can quietly trigger everything from Headaches to Middle Back Pain and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. To isolate and quickly decompress the ASM means controlling the many pathological conditions in the upper body.

During this course, we will discuss the unique pathology of ASMS, its evaluation, identification, and an effective treatment protocol that decisively eliminates anterior neck tension and decompresses the brachial plexus.

Day 3: Medical Massage Protocol for Iliopsoas Muscle Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

Aside from causing lower back pain and various visceral dysfunctions in the abdominal cavity, the tension in the Iliopsoas Muscle is a significant contributor to anterior thigh, knee, and leg pain. This pain is due to compression of the femoral and/or obturator nerves in the femoral and obturator canals. SOMI is proud to offer a new hands-on class on evaluating and treating tension in the Iliopsoas Muscle.

A correctly formulated treatment protocol is not only effective but also safe, focusing on correcting the misconceptions about iliopsoas muscle work through the abdominal cavity. Many educators advocate this unfortunate practice. We will equip you with the knowledge and skills to avoid unnecessary trauma to the abdominal organs while delivering stable clinical results, ensuring the safety and confidence of both you and your patients.

Manual Therapy to Eliminate Multiple Nerve Compression Patternsof the Upper and Lower BodyState-of-the-art anatomy and nerve graphics will enable manual therapists to visualize the inner workings of the human body. Starting with the brain and spinal cord, therapists will use positional release and soft tissue balancing protocols to address OA & C1-C2 fixations, cervical kyphosis (also known as “military neck”), spinal stenosis patterns, stuck facet joints, and treat sprains and strains throughout the body. Nerve tests include: the Spurling Test: spinal nerve compression; Eden’s Test: costo-clavicular syndrome; Adson’s Test: scalene and first rib involvement; Wright Abduction Test: pectoralis minor involvement; Tests to identify Cubital Tunnel and Guyon’s Canal (ulnar tunnel) conditions; Pronator Teres Test: median nerve entrapment; and Tests for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Complicated shoulder capsular adhesions will also be addressed. For the Lower Body, The Supine to sit test will evaluate for functional versus anatomical leg length discrepancies. Pelvic stabilization will be used to address sacral torsion patterns, iliosacral upslips, joint capsular patterns, femoral nerve compression, and normal muscle firing patterns. Therapists will level the sacral base and release the Sacrotuberous ligament for sciatic nerve pain. The Straight Leg Test will identify L5/ SI bulges or herniated discs. The Slump Test will identify hamstring strains that scar down the Sciatic Nerve. Tibial Torsions and Fixated Fibular Head Conditions will be corrected by releasing the biceps femoris muscle to address the Tibial and Fibular Nerve Entrapments. Manual therapists will also evaluate and release the Tarasal Tunnel and Morton’s Neuroma. Home care retraining will include spinal decompression, along with nerve glides and nerve tensioning protocol

Understanding & Transforming Chronic Pain by Arnold Askew

Retraining Neural-Circuits & Neuromuscular Habits14 CE Hours + Approved by NCBTMB

Understanding & Transforming Chronic Pain:

An In-depth Introduction to the Theory and Techniques of Somatic Therapy

This class will review the latest neuroscience the brain plays in the perception and persistence of pain. This knowledge will quickly help us see the difference between “neuroplastic” and structurally caused pain. Understanding this is essential for consistent and successful treatment. First, we’ll review techniques to address the neuro-circuitry linked to chronic pain. Then we’ll use somatic education to change inefficient patterns of dysfunction. Therapeutically we’ll use “awareness-based touch and movement” to awaken proprioceptive centers and stimulate healthier neurological activity. A variety of injuries, pathologies and conditions will be discussed to make the information relevant for actual practice.

Though all of this may sound overwhelming, it comes together with simple techniques that are easy to apply and are gentle on the therapist. The work is relationship-based, so we will look at how to bring our clients into a healthier relationship with their own healing. And this process starts with us. We will use basic developmental movements to start our own process of self-exploration. With this “self-knowledge” our goal will be to help our clients become more autonomous and involved in whatever conditions may be a part of their lives.

Please wear clothing that allows unrestricted movement, and bring a mat or blanket for movement explorations on the floor.

$350 Somatic Therapy and CE Courses by Arnold Askew

Class objectives:

1) Develop an understanding of the causes and currentapproach for the treatment of chronic pain. Specifically, review the recentresearch into pain caused by neuroplastic changes and/or somatic deficiencies.

2) Develop strategies to effectively treat such conditions. Focus to be ondeveloping awareness-based touch and movement to awaken proprioceptivecenters and stimulate new neurological activity.

3) Learn to integrate newtheories and techniques into current massage or other practices.

Myotherapy is a targeted therapeutic modality grounded in comprehensive assessment and individualized treatment planning. This approach begins with evaluating postural and movement patterns to identify areas of muscular holding and dysfunction. Treatment focuses on locating and releasing trigger points, while integrating joint mobilization and passive stretching to restore balance, mobility, and functional movement.

In this course, practitioners will explore and apply myofascial release techniques, trigger point referral patterns, zone therapy, and mirror muscle concepts. Participants will leave with a complete, clinically applicable two-hour treatment protocol designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term musculoskeletal health.

This class is ideal for massage therapists seeking to deepen their therapeutic and deep tissue skill set, as well as those working with chronic pain presentations and athletic populations.

Tactile Vision

The Knee

In this class, anatomy moves into your hands.

By building a knee out of clay from the bones outward, layer by layer, you develop tactile vision, the ability to recognize balance, restriction, and distortion through touch, not just knowledge.

This hands-on process bridges anatomy and clinical work, supporting clearer assessment and more precise technique.

The Berry Method®

Steve Kubby, Editor-in-Chief at “Alpine World”

The Berry Method® Whole-Body Approach

Introduction to Corrective Massage

Taum who?

The Fundamentals of Corrective Massage

Re-balancing the knee…One muscle at a time.

One of many unique components of The Berry Method® is its explicit recognition that muscle tissues have an optimum natural functional position and can become misaligned due to trauma, adaptation, or other factors.

Sometimes, it’s as simple as putting the tissue back where it belongs.The Knee class includes both a regional and a specific, in-depth precision focus on Knee anatomy and the corrective techniques to return balance and pain-free movement.

In this class, you’ll build a knee out of clay from the bones outward, layer by layer. This hands-on process will give you a tactile understanding of how the bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles work together for healthy knee function.

As we sculpt and assemble each part, you’ll also learn the idiosyncrasies of each tissue and how to recognize when something is out of balance. Along the way, rebalancing techniques to stretch, correct, and manipulate each structure will be presented, practiced, and reviewed.

Each model will include:

Bones (landmarks for palpation):

Femur, Fibula, Tibia, and Patella

Ligaments:

ACL & PCL Cruciate Ligaments

MCL and LCL Collateral Ligaments

Muscles & Tendons:

Popliteus

Plantaris

Gastrocnemius

Biceps Femoris

Semimembranosus and Semitendinosus

Gracilis

Tensor Fasciae Latae

Articularis Genus

Vastus Medialis

Vastus Intermedius

Vastus Lateralis

Rectus Femoris

Patellar Tendon

Sartorius

The bones serve as tactile landmarks, helping you locate and identify the surrounding muscles with your hands and fingers. By the end, you’ll have both a clay model and a deeper tactile functional map of the knee — knowledge you can apply directly to assessment and treatment.

The reality is, neck pain is complex. Releasing the suboccipitals can be wonderful in certain circumstances, disastrous in others. There is no routine that works for all the different iterations of possible neck issues. In PNMT, we don’t teach routines, we focus in reasoning and problem solving. That takes time and expert guidance from the instructor. There is NO substitute for hands-on experience and the guidance of a mentor, especially in an area so small and complex as the neck.
