COURSE CONTENT & WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
 

Learn the Theory and Clinical Application of:

  • Myofascial Release Technique
  • Neuromuscular Technique (NMT)
  • Myofascial Trigger Points
  • Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
  • Harmonic Technique
  • Joint Articulation

Myofascial Release Technique
This is a whole-body, hands on approach for the evaluation and treatment of the human structure.

There are a variety of techniques that can be used and range from gentle releases to "rolling" of tissue.

Appreciating that fascia envelope's all the body tissues, it is possibly one of the most effective techniques to achieve lasting change in bodies where fascial distortion is maintaining dysfunction and resulting in pain.

Neuromuscular Technique (NMT) & Trigger Points
NMT is an efficient method of treatment and can be used to assess and treat myofascial dysfunction.

It forms an important method of treatment for the release of muscular tension and more specifically to assist in the deactivation and removal of Myofascial Trigger Points.

A variety of treatment methods are explored including the use of pressure, heat and ice.

Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
MET is a manipulative treatment, which uses active muscular contraction in order to release the restrictions at the joint/muscle barrier.

Several different types of muscular actions are used including, Isometric,
Isotonic,Isokinetic, and Isolytic,contractions to achieve lasting change.

Harmonic Technique
These are resurrected techniques using oscillations to induce harmonic movements in the body.

Both the soft tissue as well as the articular system of the body can be manipulated using body masses to induce rhythmical body motion.

The techniques are gentle, easy to apply and extremely effective.

Joint Articulation
Mobilisation of large joints, including the spine to improve gross mobility
