When it comes to this type of trauma\, all muscles respond the exact same way. They contract. If the muscles are contracted\, the individual loses 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 Piriformis Syndrome\, Psuedo Sciatica\, Shin Splints\, Plantar Fasciitis\, among others. \nThis course will be 12 hours and cover 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 – Lower Extremities\nCEU’s: 12\nPrice: $225 \n\n \n \n \n \n\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.
