This module (1 out of the 6 Jeff offers) will explore musculoskeletal anatomy and function of the thoracic cage (anterior and posterior). Lectures will be focused on muscle location / function and activity of daily living (work, hobbies, sports) stressors that will cause dysfunction within the musculoskeletal system and with this information, we will examine the main physiological factors that may create or intensify pain patterns, including nerve entrapment/compression, trigger points, pathologies and postural distortions.
The course will include Ortho Assessments to the nearby joints and tissue, so as an LMT we know when and where to treat appropriately. Students will explore the Ortho Assessment Model/Protocols and treatment models that can be utilized throughout the body and will be emphasized throughout the course.
We will then apply this knowledge with specific integrated NMT protocol, by applying manual advanced tissue techniques to relieve myofascial trigger points and other soft tissue dysfunction. Practice will include demonstration, palpation, verbal walk through and practice time.
*This is a stand-alone module, so no prerequisite is required. Take one or all six courses. In order to become certified in Integrated NMT and Ortho Assessment a student must complete all 6 weekends and pass a written and practical test.
