Course Content

This visually stimulating Upper & Lower Extremity seminar is based on Aubrey Gowing’s assessment and treatment protocols. This sequencing can help therapists quickly identify and treat common pain-producing conditions such as Tibial rotation, Talar dysfunction, muscle imbalance and foot Pain, Carpal tunnel, elbow and wrist pain. This seminar is specially designed for practicing therapists who wish to dramatically improve treatment outcomes and shorten the route to success with each client.

You will practice pain-free techniques that simultaneously address joint issues, utilise neurological responses and treat soft tissues to increase hydration and pliability.
‘Restore joint space and the nervous system will reduce guarding.’
Learn to access and treat deep tissues without excessive force, mobilise joints and address myofascial restrictions. By mastering this treatment approach, you will be able to quickly unlock chronic pain conditions.
