SEMINAR PROGRAM
Day 1: Medical Massage Protocol for Iliopsoas Muscle Syndrome Hands-On Training Course
Aside from causing lower back pain and various visceral dysfunctions in the abdominal cavity, the tension in the Iliopsoas Muscle is a significant contributor to anterior thigh, knee, and leg pain. This pain is due to compression of the femoral and/or obturator nerves in the femoral and obturator canals. SOMI is proud to offer a new hands-on class on evaluating and treating tension in the Iliopsoas Muscle.
A correctly formulated treatment protocol is not only effective but also safe, focusing on correcting the misconceptions about iliopsoas muscle work through the abdominal cavity. Many educators advocate this unfortunate practice. We will equip you with the knowledge and skills to avoid unnecessary trauma to the abdominal organs while delivering stable clinical results, ensuring the safety and confidence of both you and your patients.
Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Pectoralis Major and Minor Muscle Syndrome. Hands-On Training Course
This class presents the evaluation and treatment of patients with tension and spasms of the pectoralis major and minor muscles. From mimicking cardiac pain in the form of False Cardialgia Syndrome to a wide range of upper-extremity functional abnormalities, pectoral muscle tension is frequently misdiagnosed and mistreated as a somatic syndrome.
This course will address the anatomical and pathological foundations of these conditions, followed by a detailed, layer-by-layer soft tissue evaluation and hands-on application of the Medical Massage treatment protocol.
Day 3: Piriformis Muscle Syndrome / Sciatica. Hands-On Training Course
This class focuses on the piriformis muscle—often referred to as the key to lower-extremity function. We will cover its anatomy, physiology, pathology, and examination, with special attention to the primary causes of piriformis muscle tension and its critical anatomical relationship with the sciatic nerve.
Participants will learn detailed, layer-by-layer evaluation of the soft tissues in the gluteal region, followed by a step-by-step Medical Massage protocol designed to decompress the skin, fascia, posterior lumbar musculature, and periosteum of the lower back and gluteal area.
