Integrated Manual Therapy and Orthopedic Massage for Complicated Knee Conditions

Course overview

After a brief review of Pelvic Stabilization, the therapist will learn assessment and clinical reasoning skills to sort out approximately 12 causes of complicated knee pain. We will be sharing cutting-edge research on myofascial pain, scar tissue mobilization, trigger points, and joint pain. Modalities used will be functional assessment, posturology, myofascial release, NMT, joint capsule work, myoskeletal alignment, and specific corrective stretching and strengthening protocols for each clinical condition. Participants will also be learning our revolutionary technique for releasing complicated hip capsule problems. After Pelvic Stabilization review, we will address Patella femoral Pain, Patella Tendinosis, Chondromalacia, IT Band Friction Syndrome, Fixated Posterior Fibular Head Pain, Abnormal Knee Rotation, Medial & Lateral Collateral Ligament Sprains, Medial and Lateral Meniscus Tears, ACL & PCL Sprains, Popliteal Pain, Hamstring Strains, and Plantaris Strains. The key to this seminar is that all muscle groups that affect the hip and knee will be brought into balance before treating the clinical symptoms, and the client will be given a designed self-care regimen for each specific condition, to eliminate pain forever.
