Integrated Orthopedic Massage with Ben Benjamin
About the Workshop:
This hands-on workshop includes assessment, testing, and treatment. During this full day of training, you will learn dozens of assessment tests, and friction, myofascial therapy, and deep tissue techniques to address pain and injury in some of the most commonly injured structures in the neck, shoulder, lower back, and knee.
You will also understand the anatomy of these structures as never before by physically locating and palpating each muscle, tendon, and ligament targeted with these techniques.
These assessment testing procedures are from the work of Dr. James Cyriax, the originator of Orthopedic Medicine (the non-surgical treatment for musculoskeletal pain).
