SEMINAR PROGRAM
Day 1: Medical Massage Protocol for Rotator Cuff Syndrome Hands-On Training Course
Injury or tension within the 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 the 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 evaluation of each component of the rotator cuff mechanism, and examination of humeral-scapular rhythm.
Finally, in the hands-on part of the class, we will discuss the Medical Massage Protocol for the treatment of Rotator Cuff Syndrome.
Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Tensor Fasciae Latae Syndrome Hands-On Training Course
This class covers the most frequent cause of pain and dysfunction in the lateral hip and knee joints as well as the lateral aspect of the thigh. The class begins with the anatomy and physiology of the Tensor Fasciae Latae Muscle and the Iliotibial Band (IT Band).
Afterward, we discuss possible causes of tension in the Tensor Fasciae Latae 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 Fasciae Latae muscle and the IT Band.
Day 3: Medical Massage Protocol for Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow/Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Hands-On Training Course
The first part of the class covers widespread abnormalities in the function of the elbow, Lateral Epicondylitis a.k.a. Tennis Elbow, and Medial Epicondylitis a.k.a. Golfer’s Elbow. The nature of the abnormalities, as well as the evaluation of the soft tissues of the elbow and the corresponding Medical Massage protocols, is discussed in detail. Homework for patients, as well as future preventive measures, is presented.
The second part of the class is dedicated to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. We discuss the differences between local and reflex variants of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, soft-tissue evaluation, and the Medical Massage protocol for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Homework for patients and future preventive measures are also discussed.
