About the Event

In this live interactive webinar, we'll go through why people present with numerous painful, tense areas of consistent muscle tension that limit their mobility and function. Poor posture, faulty habits, traumas and strains to the neuromuscular system contributes to those reactive tight ropy bands of abnormal muscle contraction known as trigger points (TPs). TPs contribute to neck pain, headaches, back pain and activity limitation or functional disability. The cause of TPs is often overlooked, or simply not addressed, as therapists try to compress them away, only to find they return right after the session. In this live interactive webinar learn what defines a trigger point, what it represents in the neuromotor system, how to document, and how to use a variety of techniques to manage them for more successful clinical outcomes. Turn happy clients into raving fans!

This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
