Imagine the next time a massage client or someone in pain comes to see you with an impingement problem or rotator cuff tear, neck pain or nerve related symptoms and you can quickly and confidently assess them, treat them and give them simple corrective exercises to get them better much more quickly than you would have ever thought possible.
Imagine having a complete system that you can use for virtually all massage clients to get them better even without having to touch them if you were unable to (think someone at a dinner party with pain, someone that lives far away in pain or just because you cant see them right at that moment).
As a massage therapist or health professional that deals with clients that are in pain, do you struggle like I did on knowing what to do when it comes to having a quick and effective assessment, treatment protocol and know exactly what home exercises to give for each massage client?
Did you even know that the home exercises that you give are one of the most important aspects to getting your massage clients better?
But which do you give? how many? how often? why?
Or as a massage therapist or health professional, do you have the same problem that I had which was not having any real system for your massage clients in pain and would just do the massage and 'hope' that when they got off the table they were better?
If this sounds like you, then this course is for you!
By the time that you have finished this course, you will have a complete system that is quick, incredibly effective and will demystify the process and having to assess, treat and diagnose your clients problems based on a simple methodologial approach.
The pressure is finally off you as the therapist.
You will learn:
- How to quickly assess, diagnose, treat and give home exercises for your massage clients and see vastly better results in your spa or massage clinic.
- You will know how to treat massage clients based on our modern understanding of how pain is produced in the body and hence, how we need to approach our treatments in a very different manner.
- You will understand the importance of giving simple instructions for your massage clients on what to do between massage visits with you which will give you much better results than you had ever dreamed was possible
- If you feel lost or pressured to be the 'Mr or Mrs Fix-it' by hoping that your massage treatments will help your clients but do not know how to check their major imbalances quickly and easily, nor how to know if the shoulder or arm pain is coming from the neck or thoracic spine, then this course is definitely for you.
In a nutshell, once you have finished this course, you will feel extremely confident with treating your massage clients that come to see you using a system that not only simplifies the entire assessment and treatment approach for you but you will also see vastly better therapeutic results with your massage clients.
Sound good to you?
If so, let's go!
I cant wait to start teaching you so that you can start implementing this systematic approach with your massage clients as soon as possible.
