SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1: Chronic Headache and Migraine. Hands-On Training Course

This class takes students through all aspects of Chronic Tension Headache and Migraines, from clinical evaluation of the soft tissues and local pathology to step-by-step treatment using the Medical Massage Protocol.

This Medical Massage protocol is recognized and currently used in several hospitals, including world-renowned clinical and scientific institutions such as the Barrow Neurological Institute. Several of our students have built their entire practice around the clinical effectiveness of Medical Massage Protocols for Chronic Headaches.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Lower Back Pain Hands-On Training Course

Lower Back Pain is a general name for many syndromes that contribute to this widespread pathology. In other words, it is a multifaced enemy. Clinical success depends on the ability of the therapist to correctly identify and target the initial triggers rather than secondary syndromes, which are frequently the most prominent.

During this course, we will cover the anatomy and pathology of the lumbar area, necessary evaluation and testing skills to develop correct treatment strategy for tension in the Lumbar Erectors, Quadratus Lumborum muscle, and rotators.

Day 3: 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.
