- Move Better, Feel Better: A Movement-Based Approach to Soft Tissue Mobilization for the Upper Body 4
Course release date: 04/16/2024
About the Course
This course provides an evidence-based approach, combining IASTM, Cupping and Kinesiology Taping by focusing on how we can stimulate the Central Nervous System (CNS) to reduce pain and enhance mobility. This comprehensive treatment philosophy is movement-focused instead of treating the individual muscle, or the fascia, or the joints. The goal is to make overall movement of the affected body part more efficient to allow the body to heal and to become more resilient: “Move Better, Feel Better”
Clinicians will be able to take their Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) -techniques to the next level by incorporating movement. Additionally, learners can understand how Cupping Therapy (CT) is different than all other manual techniques, and how it supports healing, and recovery. Clinicians will learn how Kinesiology Taping (KT) is used to influence the fascia and underlying neural tissues to cause functional changes in both the local tissue as well as the Central Nervous System (CNS). KT is the ideal complement to soft tissue treatments like IASTM and Cupping.
Understanding how pain works and being able to educate your clients on how to manage their pain is critical to patient outcomes. This course uses principles of the BPS model and Pain Scienced Education as a roadmap to make your treatments even more effective. This treatment approach does not just look at the area of pain, but considers the entire person, and treats the entire dynamic chain that is affected. - Preventing Medical Errors 2About the Course
