Description
In this course manual osteopath and registered massage therapist Mike Everson is going to guide you through how to deliver joint mobilizations for the entire body. In massage therapy, joint mobilizations can be used to treat both joints and soft tissues. Joint mobilizations are performed when a bone or vertebrae is moved to relieve tension, stiffness, pain and improve range of movement. Joint mobilizations are delivered with various pressures and are graded one to five. The pressure used with joint mobilizations is dependent on desired outcomes and clinical intuition used by the therapist.  Joint Mobilizations are one of the most effective tools a manual therapist can use for treating a variety of conditions. Yet, joint mobilizations are often not focused on in some education and training programs, leaving this valuable skill misunderstood and underused. Most massage therapists leave their training with very little experience and lack of confidence when mobilizing the hips, ribs, thoracic spine TMJ etc. As a result, missing out on potentially the missing link when it comes to providing more useful treatments.  This course is perfect for therapists looking to have a complete understanding of the human body. Knowing how the health of the joints can effect pain all over the body AND also how to treat that pain, is essential for any manual therapist to know to be as effective and helpful as possible.You can study and complete this entire course in the comfort of your own home with lifetime access to the videos in case you need to go back, review and re-inspire yourself!In this course you are going to learn:> How to assess the joints for treatment, gaining key hands-on intuition over time > Learn techniques for all the joints including the hips, SI joints, lumbar spine, TMJ and many more > Become a specialist for people who have chronic or hard to deal with issues > Learn the anatomy and physiology of the joints as it relates to local and global pain within the bodyEnroll now!
