My hip is bothering me … It hurts when I move my arm this way … I can’t seem to get this backache to go away …
How often do your clients present with pain, discomfort or limitations in movement that leave you wondering where to begin treatment?

bev-massage-demoFunctional assessment allows a practitioner to make sound decisions about how, or if, a client should be treated. It is a process of gathering information, providing more data to use in clinical thinking and problem solving that results in quicker, more effective ways to help your clients. Detailed functional assessment is a critical tool in understanding a client’s pain and discomfort, identifying contraindicated conditions, and determining whether massage is appropriate.

Utilizing a combination of visual, tactile and movement methods, functional assessment distinguishes the types of tissues or structures that may be involved, assisting the therapist in designing more focused, specific treatments. It also provides a baseline and way to measure progress through the course of treatment.

Improve your clinical skills by developing competence in testing and treating musculoskeletal dysfunction of the hip, shoulder girdle and spine. In these workshops, you will learn a systematic approach that will help you develop the most effective treatment plans.

We will cover the anatomy and kinesiology for each region, basic range of motion and Manual Resistive Testing, anatomically specific massage techniques, and clinical reasoning skills. This material provides a useful introduction to clinical massage strategies and deepens proficiency for therapists of all skill levels. It will enable you to help your clients with a wide range of musculoskeletal problems, and to work more efficiently to achieve greater results.

You may register for these workshops individually, or together as a package for a savings.
