These new courses from Ann and Lynn Teachworth of Trunamics blend structural integration theory, functional biomechanics, assessment, embodiment, and hands-on techniques to comprehensively address lower- and upper-back pain.
Structural Dynamics of Lower-Back Pain | 2 CE hours
Lower-back pain is one of the most common complaints from clients, but the issue rarely starts in the lower back, which means the treatment shouldn’t either. Learn the functional biomechanics of the pelvis and the associated muscles that can contribute to chronic and acute lower-back pain. The course includes a demonstration of hands-on approaches to address the underlying patterns to offer lasting relief. When you understand how the body works, you can use your hands-on techniques for more efficient, lasting results.
Structural Dynamics of Upper-Back Pain | 2 CE hours
Rethink your treatment strategies for the common client complaints of upper-back pain, achy rhomboids, and tight trapezii. Gain an understanding of the anatomy, functional biomechanics, and structural dynamics of the chest, abdominals, and thoracic spine that leads to chronic pain in the upper back. Then, learn embodiment practices and hands-on techniques to effectively resolve clients’ pain and restore function. Understanding the cause of this pain and tension pattern gives practitioners the tools to help their clients resolve this issue rather than just providing temporary relief.
These courses are now available in the ABMP Education Center to view and earn CE hours.
