MyoFascial Trigger Point Therapy Helps Patients Across the Nation
Astoria, New York (PRWEB) August 10, 2014 -- Laura is a mother of 3 with a full time job. “Working in a supermarket is very physically demanding, and my lower back suffers,” says Laura. During the past two weeks, Laura has been receiving physical therapy for her lower back pain and has seen significant improvement. Since her problem is related to her muscular system, she receives MyoFascial trigger point therapy. Health care providers in Wyoming now have the opportunity to learn this technique from leaders in the field.
To help physical therapists with the proper treatment for people like Laura, Hands-On Seminars has just announced an upcoming intensive training seminar in MyoFascial Trigger Point and Proprioceptive Therapy. The course will be taught in Afton, Wyoming September 20-21, 2014.

The course contains extensive lab sessions of all muscle systems discussed at the course and also includes the Spray & Stretch Technique.

“Treating the muscles associated with lower back pain in a gentle and non-threatening manner often leads to a softening of the tissues and a sense of warmth. The patient is surprised at how such gentleness improved the manner in which they move. You will learn these techniques and much more in PT01.” – Richard Finn, HOS Instructor
Participants will learn advanced diagnostic and treatment techniques and will participate in extensive lab sessions. Instruction includes utilizing advanced multimedia methods.
Appropriate for PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs, LMTs, ATCs and Physicians. On completion of this course participants will receive 16.8 CEUs.
