SMTO Conference 2010 ~ Medical Massage for the Abdominal Wall & Shoulder Girdle ~ The 'El-Torso Courso'

Grow your practice by learning these techniques that help clients with injuries and pain.

Where it hurts is where it ain't - Ida Rolf. The front of the back is where it's at! Learns powerful medical massage techniques for assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of the entire torso. Emphasis will be placed on developing precise palpatory skills, quality of touch, correct therapist body-mechanics, and effective patient communications. This work helps you resolve stubborn complaints from the neck to the pelvis.

You will learn how to treat conditions such as Low Back Pain, Psoas Problems, Postural Distortion, Rotator Cuff Injuries, Abdominal Complaints, Frozen Shoulder, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, ROM Limitations, Mid & Upper Back Pain, and Much More with safe, simple, pain-free techniques.

Day 1 - The Abdominal Wall - Unlocking the torso. Anterior and lateral portions of the abdominal wall - superficial and deep will be discussed and examined. Techniques will be correlated with postural analysis to improve your efficiency. This is the missing work that few therapists know to do, yet most patients with low back pain need. You will learn how the abdominal musculature is also involved in neck-shoulder complaints and injuries.

Day 2 - Shoulder Girdle - This includes assessment tests for the rotator cuff, a complete Active Isolated Stretching - Mattes Method stretching routine for the shoulder, precise palpation of each muscle of the shoulder joint, and demonstrations of exercises for shoulder health.

Participants should bring: Massage Table, 2 pillows/bolsters (or BodyCushion), towels; Notebook & Pen Wear loose comfortable clothing that allows movement; Bring shorts (male & female); Sports bra or equivalent (female); An open mind ready to learn! See YOU there!!
