SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1: Medical Massage Protocol for Rotator Cuff Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

Injury or tension within the rotator cuff muscles, or Rotator Cuff Syndrome (RCS), is a leading cause of Adhesive Capsulitis, also known as Frozen Shoulder (FS). Rehabilitation of the full-blown FS is a very complex and lengthy process, and very frequently, the patients end up with very controversial surgeries. That is why the correct management of RCS is a vital therapy that prevents debilitating complications.

During the class, we discuss the complex anatomy and physiology of the shoulder joint, step-by-step evaluation of each component of the rotator cuff mechanism, and examination of humeral-scapular rhythm.

Finally, in the hands-on part of the class, we will discuss the Medical Massage Protocol for the treatment of Rotator Cuff Syndrome.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Tensor Fasciae Lata Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

This class covers the most frequent cause of pain and dysfunction in the lateral hip and knee joints as well as the lateral aspect of the thigh. The class begins with the anatomy and physiology of the Tensor Fascia Lata Muscle and the Iliotibial Band (IT Band).

Afterward, we discuss possible causes of tension in the Tensor Fascia Lata Muscle and evaluate all soft tissue aspects on a layer-by-layer basis.

The rest of the day is dedicated to hands-on training in Medical Massage Protocol to restore the function of the Tensor Fascia Lata muscle and the IT Band.

Day 3: Medical Massage Protocol for Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow/Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

The first part of the class covers widespread abnormalities in the function of the elbow, Lateral Epicondylitis a.k.a Tennis Elbow, and Medial Epicondylitis a.k.a Golfer’s Elbow. The nature of the abnormalities, as well as the evaluation of the soft tissues of the elbow and the corresponding Medical Massage protocols, are discussed in detail. Homework for patients, as well as future preventive measures, are presented.

The second part of the class is dedicated to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. We discuss the differences between local and reflex variants of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, soft-tissue evaluation, and the Medical Massage protocol for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Homework for patients and future preventive measures are also discussed.

One short course. . . long-lasting results for you!

A revolutionary map with practical results! Transform your view of myofascial anatomy and expand your ability to assess postural and movement patterns, and to create lasting fascial change with your hands. In this new and expanded 21-hour workshop format you will learn about the myofascial tissue and its many roles in the body. You will begin to appreciate how the body incorporates the Anatomy Train Lines to create easy and graceful movement – provided they are in some form of balance and harmony; restriction or weakness in one section can have many knock-on effects elsewhere.

This workshop will show you how that happens, how to trace the lines of strain and, most importantly, how you can develop strategies to deal with them.

This is the first workshop to combine Anatomy Trains theory alongside structural and functional anatomy and analysis, blending together the concepts of tensegrity with elastic recoil for movement efficiency.

Get the latest information on fascia, muscle, and movement

Be able to identify the 12 myofascial meridians and their link to human growth, development, perception and consciousness

Accurately “BodyRead” posture and movement; assess your clients in a new way

Gain effective myofascial and movement strategies

Develop treatment strategies specific to your clients’  structural and functional patterns

Anatomy Trains in Structure & Function courses give you new techniques to transform structure by reaching deeper issues in the tissues.

Note: This course is the pre-requisite for the ATSI Professional Certification Training.

Continue your journey with:

The Structural Essentials Series. These regional intensives combine global postural assessment with movement and manual techniques for efficient and long-lasting results.

Important research findings are integrated into the presentations, along with cutting-edge applications that can be used for clients on your next day in clinic.
