Structural & Functional Assessments for Improving Therapeutic Results | August 9-10, 2025
You know that every body is unique, and to get results, you have to tailor your treatment to each body. Symptoms only tell part of the story. To plan an effective treatment, you have to understand the dynamics underneath your clients’ pain and performance issues.
In this training, you will understand and assess the synergistic functions of the joints, muscles, and connective tissues in order to optimize the body’s function. When there is a restricted joint or area of tension in the myofascia, it will lead to poor biomechanics, limited sports performance, and potentially injuries and chronic pain. This class will guide you to understand and assess structural and functional dynamics joint by joint, head to toe. Learn dynamic assessments for each joint, associated tissues, and kinetic chains.
Whether you work on athletes or the average person, you will understand why chronic issues perpetuate, and assess where to apply your massage hands on treatments most effectively for lasting therapeutic results.
