Myoskeletal Therapy Seminar

Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques for Treating Trapped Nerves

Pre-requisite: Holistic Massage, Sports Massage, Orthopaedic Massage or equivalent

The Treating Trapped Nerves workshop, based on Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques* will allow you to incorporate exciting and effective new myofascial deep tissue techniques, joint mobilisation and nerve flossing into your existing skill set.

Course Overview

This visually stimulating workshop on Treating Trapped Nerves is based on Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques*. Therapists can quickly identify and treat common pain-producing conditions such as thoracic outlet, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow and carpal tunnel as well as sciatic pain, tarsal tunnel and Morton’s neuroma symptoms. These dynamic techniques will add value to your skill-set, speed up results, and increase referrals.

The Treating Trapped Nerves workshop, based on Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques* will allow you to incorporate exciting and effective new myofascial deep tissue techniques, joint mobilisation and nerve flossing into your existing skill set.

Learn techniques to treat the tissues involved in nerve tethering and how to use neural tensioning and flossing to untether nerves to relieve muscle guarding, alleviate pain and improve function. This nerve mobilizing aspect is often the missing key in therapy sessions that can quickly unlock chronic pain conditions.

Course Content

In this workshop, you will learn practical and effective approaches for finding and treating chronic cervical and pelvic dysfunctions that influence upper and lower limb neurological pain problems. More specifically, you’ll learn neurological tensioning and neural flossing techniques to improve common neuropathies such as sciatica and thoracic outlet. Many of these neurological compressions can mimic sports injuries and repetitive strain conditions such as golfers and tennis elbow, carpal and tarsal tunnel, plantar fasciitis and shin splints.

Our goal is to enhance your skills, improve your results, and build your practice to a level of excellence that goes beyond the standard expectation of what can be achieved through bodywork. Be prepared for outstanding results, even with long standing chronic conditions!
