Clavicle mobilization and abdominal head of pec major release round out the shoulder approaches. In addition\, joint mobilizations and osseous techniques are shown for the clavicle\, scapula\, and upper extremity joints.\nTreatment of the elbow and wrist\, with focus on decompressing the radius & ulna from the humerus\, decompressing the Carpal Tunnel\, as well as mobilizing the carpals & phalanges\, can improve & prevent many of the above disorders. \nDay 2: Abdomen\, Ribcage\, and Pelvis\nThis course will remove any discomfort felt by therapists when\nworking on the Abdomen\, Ribcage & Pelvis\, by combining in depth assessment approaches with effective myofascial release techniques. Therapists will spend time doing direct techniques\, such as release of the abdominal/peritoneal fascia\, and iliac/inguinal fascia\, as well as indirect techniques\, such as release of groin/pubic fascias. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) will be employed\, along with passive stretching with traction (limb unwinding)\, to perform the indirect techniques. Once learned\, PNF and limb unwinding can be applied anywhere in the body. Patients will experience improved digestion from the abdominal work\, improved breathing from the ribcage/diaphragm work\, and better flexibility in the back and hips from the pelvic work. Decreased back\, shoulder\, and neck pain can be expected from all of the modalities used. \nClass Info\nTimes:\nDay 1: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm; Day 2:10:00 am – 6:00 pm\nCEU’s: 14\nPrice: $275.00 \nEnrollment Closed\nLocation: Ģý College – Roswell 1455 Old Alabama Road Suite 160 Roswell\, GA 30076\nClass capacity: 20\nContact: Please call us at (770) 381-7200 if you have any questions.\nRefunds: No refunds within 2 weeks of class.

When it comes to this type of trauma\, all muscles respond the exact same way. They contract. If the muscles are contracted\, the individual losses not only range of motion\, but also muscle strength. The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is to learn how to treat muscles using their plane of action. This course teaches how to merge passive range of motion with other muscle release techniques\, allowing relief from pain through the elongation of the muscle fibers. This technique helps in breaking apart adhesion and scar tissue that limit muscle flexibility and length. By including ROM with treatment\, you will be able to use less pressure and get the desired results.\nWe will be covering common muscular injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome\, Pronator Teres Syndrome\, Adhesive Capsulitis\, Golfer’s/Tennis Elbow\, among others. \nThe Kinetic Musculorehab Technique Upper Extremities continuing education course is a 12-hour course and will be held over two days. \nBecause this course is 12 hours hands on\, please bring sheets and lotion to class.\nNCBTMB Approved Provider # 451292-10 \nSupplies\nTwo twin set of sheets\nLotion and cream (No oil based products) \nClass Info\nTimes: Day 1: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm // Day 2: 9:00 am – 1:00 pm\nClass: KMT – Upper Extremities\nCEU’s: 12\nPrice: $225 \nCLASS FULL\nJoin the Wait List\nClass Capacity: 24\n*Refunds are subject to a $10 processing fee. \nLocation: Ģý College – Lilburn\, 4230 Lawrenceville Hwy\, Ste 11\, Lilburn\, GA 30047 \nContact: Please call us at (770) 381-7200 if you have any questions. \nRefunds: No refunds within 2 weeks of class.
