PAIN DETECTIVES eCOURSE (4 CE)
Like a detective, our job when working with people in pain is to look at the scene, gather evidence, and use our powers of deductive reasoning to find the culprit. Unfortunately, the sleuthing techniques you learned in massage school don’t always prepare you for the messy “crime scenes” you encounter in your practice. You’ll often find yourself in situations where there are lots of clues as to what may be causing your client’s pain, but the perpetrator is sneaky, evasive, and hard to identify.
Fortunately, we have the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson of the massage profession to teach you their powerful investigative methods. In this advanced continuing education course, you’ll learn their methodology for gathering evidence and catching pain culprits.
To test their powers of observation and deductive reasoning, our pain detectives were given a challenge: They had to solve the cases of four people in pain in 40 minutes or less. There was no interrogation. They weren’t allowed to ask their subjects any questions. They had to use their ingenious methods to determine the source of their client’s pain.
Could they unlock the secret to their client’s pain? Find out in this compelling pain mystery story.
Course Description
This is not your typical orthopedic assessment course. In this course, you will learn how you can use a unique osteopathic assessment framework to assess your clients and get to the root of their pain complaints. You’ll examine three ways of gathering clues: Asymmetry, restriction of motion, and tissue texture abnormalities (ART).
You’ll observe Erik Dalton and senior MAT instructor, Aubrey Gowing, applying this assessment framework to four clients. You’ll follow along in real time as they discuss the clues they uncover. They’ll point out the significance of these clues to the case. You’ll see how their observations inform the next steps in their assessment and how they start connecting the dots through their clinical reasoning. They do not conduct any intake interviews. They let each client’s body do the talking. And you’ll be surprised what their bodies tell you!
By the time you finish this unique course, you’ll have discovered a systematic way of uncovering the source of your own clients’ pain using this unique assessment framework. Pain’s a crime! By honing your observational skills and improving your clinical reasoning, you’ll return to your practice with the essential skills you need to help your clients get better faster.
Are you ready to have some fun while becoming a more effective clinician and developing a more satisfying and successful practice? Then what are you waiting for? Put on your detective hat and jump in!
