We will explore Neuromuscular Therapy and how it can help to relieve Headache, Migraine, and Whiplash symptoms. Students will learn:
- Anatomy, physiology and Trigger-point pain referral patterns of the affected muscles that contribute to the symptomology
- Indications and contraindications of working with Headache, Migraines and Whiplash.
- Trauma considerations and the importance of respectful, and gentle therapy techniques when addressing the neck and shoulders, especially soon after a whiplash injury.
The instructor will demonstrate the NMT techniques and a 50/60 Minute Head & Neck Focus Massage Protocol. Students will give and receive a one hour Head & Neck Focus Massage incorporating Neuromuscular Massage techniques with a partner. We will discuss other available therapies and the importance of knowing when to refer to other healthcare providers when necessary.
Learning Outcomes:
Students will demonstrate proficiency in an upper body Neuromuscular massage focusing on head and neck for the purpose of relieving headaches, migraines and/or whiplash symptoms.
