Prerequisite: Professional healthcare practitioner, student in healthcare program or graduate awaiting licensure/accreditation with experience in sensitive, light-touch palpation.
Neuromuscular Therapy; Developing Clinical Strategies for Chronic Pain Cases (NMTCP):

This course is designed to build your clinical reasoning skills and help you to develop strategies for addressing issues that play significant roles in the perpetuation of chronic pain. Each time this course is taught it will focus around a particular region of the body, a chronic condition, a set of perpetuating factors or a mixture of these, all of which are often presented with chronic pain.

In this 12-hour course, you will be led from the intake process into an assessment phase and then through NMT strategies for treatment. Within this process many biomechanical, biochemical and psychological factors will be explored, including “red flag warnings” as to when it is unsafe to work or prudent to refer the client to a physician. A hands-on protocol will be covered and a trade of techniques provided for the particular condition that is under discussion.
