Precision Neuromuscular Therapy for the Neck and Head

19 Continuing Education Hours

Cost: $395 Review Rate: $225

Neck pain accounts for a great percentage of visits to massage therapy offices. Headaches alone account for over 80 million visits to the doctor's office per year. The number of new whiplash cases is over one million per year.

The neck is a daunting area to study, so fascinating because of its complexity, yet the neck is a work of artistic beauty. The neck is subject to all the stresses and imbalances of the body below, yet it carries this task remarkably well.

To treat the neck well, you must know the corresponding musculature and functional relationships thoroughly. More complex than probably any other area, vertebral mechanics also play a major role in understanding muscle function. We will explore limitations in all planes- forward flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. You will be amazed at the changes PNMT can produce in ROM limits!

In this seminar, participants learn how to efficiently evaluate and treat patients with various types of head and neck pain including headaches, whiplash, herniated disks, military neck, reverse curve, and reduced range of motion. You will learn strategies to determine the most effective treatment protocols to make a massive difference in the way your client feels. This seminar is designed to be a "hands on" experience and the style of therapy is easy to learn; you can utilize the techniques taught in class immediately. Students will also find it a great review of the anatomy and function of the neck musculature.

The Neck and Head seminar has several sections. First, we will explore contraindications and screening procedures for the neck. We will then explore restrictions in every plane of movement, probably one of the most common reasons people want neck therapy. New information about headache treatment, occular pain, and orofacial issues have also been added. At the end of the seminar, you will put the sections of the seminar together with real world treatment protocols. We think you will find the PNMT Head and Neck seminar to be immediately and profoundly useful!
