Trigger Points, Pain and Muscle Tone

MR ED WILSON BA MCSP

Member of Mulligan Concept Teachers Association (MCTA)

Two day workshop

Aim:

Developed partially from Mulligan’s painfree articular philosophy, this is a theoretical and practical course designed to investigate and eliminate the cascade of effects from an agitated nervous system, and their effects on muscle tone. Suitable for orthopaedic outpatients, post-operative in-patients and neurologically-compromised patients. Trigger points mapping and treatment techniques ranging from acupressure to positional release will be taught within a painfree concept. Needles will not be used.
Participants are recommended to review basic functional anatomy and physiology, with particular emphasis on muscle location, action and innervation.
The course helps to bridge the divide between acupuncture and manual therapy although it is taught from a western medical perspective.
