Welcome to my completely NEW approach to treating trigger points with my deep tissue trigger points massage certificate course.

"I recently went to a physical therapist for shoulder pain. The treatment is progressing very slowly. In the course of this massage class, I have completely transformed the shoulder pain by treating the trigger points in my shoulder. I would also like to add that the lecture on water after a massage for detoxification was one of the most brilliant presentations I've ever seen on the subject.." 5 STARS

You are going to learn not only how to do trigger point therapy massage on yourself and your massage clients but you will also come away from this course with a highly effective 1 hr. deep tissue trigger point massage sequence for the back, neck, shoulders, head and face that will be a stand alone NEW massage treatment to offer in your spa.

By the time that you have completed this deep tissue massage trigger point course you will have the skills to treat the most common upper body musculoskeletal problems and know how to treat them that not only is incredibly effective but also, most importantly, you will learn how to give them an amazing massage experience that they will rave about to their friends.

That's right.

You will have a new spa treatment that you can promote to your massage clients.

You are going to learn how to treat your massage clients, friends and family and most importantly how to treat yourself.

You will also learn the most important aspects to be able to treat clients in the massage clinic that does not get taught. That is, how to combine trigger point therapy with your massage techniques.

The biggest problem with trigger point therapy is that you are normally taught how to treat trigger points but in a massage clinic how do you treat a client using that?

Your massage clients want to be massaged right? They come to you to not only feel better but also to be massaged.

Herein lies the problem.

You can't just rub and squeeze a set list of muscles for 4 minutes for a specific problem and then charge your clients and hope they are going to come back. They won't. No matter whether you fixed their pain or stiffness or not.

So how do you combine trigger point therapy and at the same time be able to give them a deep tissue massage that will have them floating away, feeling amazing and telling all their friends about you and their amazing massage that you gave them?

Look no further than this course.

Studies have shown that in almost every muscle or joint pains trigger points are involved. In fact, estimates are upwards of 85%. So as a massage therapist you most definitely want to be doing some trigger point deep tissue massage techniques in every massage session.

In this comprehensive deep tissue trigger point massage course you will learn everything that you need to know to successfully treat conditions on yourself or for your massage clients, friends or family such as:

  • Neck pain and stiffness

  • A crick in the neck

  • Migraines/headaches

  • Shoulder impingement syndrome

  • Frozen shoulder

  • TMJ problems

  • Dizziness and vertigo

  • Sinus problems

  • Upper back pain and knots

  • and so much more.

Let's get started so that you can start helping your massage clients, friends and family and of course your OWN neck, shoulder and upper back pain and stiffness as well.

After all, you want to feel great as well.

See you in class.
