Description

Discover a user-friendly effective approach to managing pain and tension for lasting relief – and without overworking your hands. With Dr. Theresa Schmidt’s specialized training in trigger point (TP) therapy, you’ll learn how to break the cycle of tight, painful muscles that limit mobility and reduce function. Traditional methods often provide only short-lived relief; this course explores techniques that offer sustainable results and leave clients not only pain-free but delighted.

In just two hours, you’ll gain practical skills in TP assessment and treatment, learning how to tailor each technique for more effective outcomes. Master methods like positional release, myofascial therapy, and ischemic compression to not only alleviate pain but address the underlying neuromuscular dysfunction, so your patients feel better and stay that way longer. Say goodbye to repeat treatments for the same issues and hello to happy clients who become raving fans!

Join us for this hands-on experience and take your TP treatment techniques to the next level, creating a practice that truly stands out.
