Course Description This course will teach myofascial trigger point
release concepts. By utilizing the trigger point techniques,
patients make rapid improvement in their status. Outcomes have
reflected reduced therapy sessions with permanent improvement as
well as the patient's ability to self-manage their condition with
the home exercise programs. Methods for locating and deactivating
trigger points using a variety of techniques and modalities will be
explored. After reading the book, you will be able to use these
techniques immediately upon return to your practice. Myofascial
release involves sustained pressure and graded stretch applied to
the soft tissue, which is guided entirely by the feedback obtained
from the patient's body. The feedback felt by the therapist while
applying the stretch determines the direction of the stretch, its
duration, and the amount of force applied. From shoulder disorders
to elbow injuries to debilitating hand and wrist problems, quicker
improvement and more favorable outcomes are unquestionably
dependent on proper rehabilitation technique and individualized,
forward thinking concepts, and application. What were previously
considered complementary therapeutic methods are now proven,
evidence-based techniques and modalities that care for the total
patient and are imperative for today's therapist. Myofascial
release can benefit individuals of almost all age groups; the
release of the muscle tightness (as a result of fascial
involvement) facilitates the maximal elongation of the muscles,
leading to a decrease in the constant pull being experienced by the
tendons and other associated structures. Course Objectives 1.
Demonstrate how to identify and correct for the most common factors
that precipitate and perpetuate myofascial trigger points. 2.
Identify techniques for deactivating trigger points including
trigger point pressure release and myofascial release. 3. Interpret
client history and assessment findings to ascertain irritability.
4. Utilize self-care techniques for deactivating trigger points. 5.
Demonstrate trigger point palpation using STAR palpation. 6. Apply
strain-counterstrain techniques and integrated neuromuscular
inhibition techniques to deactivate trigger points.
