SEMINAR PROGRAM
Day 1. Basic Medical Massage Techniques
It is impossible to study and practice medical massage without a firm scientific understanding of Basic Medical Massage techniques and their clinical application.
We will cover the science behind clinical variations of Medical Massage techniques developed by the Western School of MT. Some of the techniques presented can be used as part of full-body massage sessions to build up a successful preventive massage therapy practice.
Day 2. Medical Massage Protocol for Rotator Cuff Syndrome/Frozen Shoulder
Injury or tension within rotator cuff muscles or Rotator Cuff Syndrome (RCS) is a leading cause of Adhesive Capsulitis, also known as Frozen Shoulder (FS). Rehabilitation of the full-blown FS is a very complex and lengthy process, and very frequently, the patients end up with very controversial surgeries. That is why correct management of RCS is a vital therapy that prevents debilitating complications.
During the class, we discuss the complex anatomy and physiology of the shoulder joint, step-by-step evaluate each component of the rotator cuff mechanism, and examine humeral-scapular rhythm. Finally, in the hands-on part of the class, we will discuss the Medical Massage Protocol for treating Rotator Cuff Syndrome.
Day 3. Medical Massage Protocols for Tensor Fascia Lata Muscle and the Iliotibial Band (IT Band)
The third day of the class covers the most frequent causes of pain and dysfunction in the lateral hip and knee joints and the lateral aspect of the thigh. The class begins with the anatomy and physiology of the tensor fascia lata muscle and the Iliotibial Band (IT Band). Afterward, we discuss possible causes of tension in the tensor fascia lata muscle and evaluate all soft tissue aspects on a layer-by-layer basis.
The rest of the day is dedicated to hands-on training in Medical Massage Protocol to restore the function of the Tensor Fascia Lata muscle and the IT Band.
