Course Description:
The shoulder girdle is one of the more structurally complicated areas of the body, with several nerves running through the articulation of uniquely-shaped bones. The range of motion the body is capable of accomplishing from the shoulder is impressive. The range of injuries, nerve impingements, and chronic muscle spasms that can arise is daunting.
Using technique demonstrations, full-color illustrations, and academic explanation, the Shoulder, Arm & Hand course covers everything you need to know to begin addressing pain in the shoulder, as well as related issues in the arms and hands.
In this course you will learn to:
- Immediately incorporate 65 unique techniques into your table treatments, including innovative deep tissue, nerve mobilization, joint stretching and graded exposure techniques
- Advance your skills in treating tendinopathies, nerve entrapments, and muscle guarding
- Learn to restore motion to painful shoulders, elbows, hands and wrists
- Assist healing from Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow and Carpal Tunnel syndromes
- Help clients avoid surgery and long-term use of pain medications
