SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1: Medical Massage Protocol for Anterior Scalen Muscle Syndrome/Thoracic Outlet Hands-On Training Course

          The Anterior Scalene Muscle Syndrome (ASMS) is nicknamed the “Silent Killer” in somatic medicine. In clinical reality, ASMS can quietly trigger everything from Headaches to Middle Back Pain and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. To isolate and quickly decompress the ASM means controlling the many pathological conditions in the upper body.  

          During this course, we will discuss the unique pathology of ASMS, its evaluation, identification, and an effective treatment protocol that decisively eliminates anterior neck tension and decompresses the brachial plexus. 

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Osteoarthritis Hands-On Training Course

           This class covers Osteoarthritis (OA) and the chain of pathological events that trigger OA. We will first discuss how to evaluate the soft tissues and joints affected by OA.         

          Afterward, we will showcase the hands-on application of a Medical Massage protocol used to decompress any affected joints and diminish or stop the destructive processes within the cartilage and subchondral bone. During class, we will use knee OA as a clinical example.
