The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is to learn to treat muscles in their plane of action. This course teaches how to merge passive range of motion with your massage techniques allowing relief from pain by elongating the fibers to increase circulation and decrease nerve impingement. This technique helps in breaking apart adhesion and scar tissue that limit muscle flexibility and length. By including ROM with treatment, you will be able to use less pressure and get the desired results. In the Upper Extremity course we will be covering the treatment protocols for common muscular injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Adhesive Capsulitis, Golfer’s/Tennis Elbow, among others.
