The vital role of the hip as a source of pain and its role in healthy movement is often overlooked. Issues of the hip may present local pain but can also greatly effect areas both above and below. For instance, restrictions in the hip demand that the low back compensate, leading to low back pain. Treatment of the low back (where the symptoms present) will be frustratingly unsuccessful. It is common to have hip pain where no visible pathology is discovered, precise soft tissue approaches can be amazingly effective. The focus of this seminar is on accurate assessment strategies and effective treatment techniques to help you treat the right structure for the right reason. We don’t just teach you how, we teach you why.

This seminar is essentially the second half of the Lower Extremity seminar. In it, the participant will first explore pain conditions of the knee. There are many soft-tissue conditions that create medial and lateral knee pain, all of them related to different muscles and ligaments. Some of the soft-tissue symptoms overlap with more serious intra-joint ligamentous issues. Participants will learn how to make good judgments as to the source of the pain and how to address it effectively. In the lower leg, conditions affecting the anterior and posterior shin splints, calf pain, and pain syndromes of the feet (such as plantar fasciitis) will be explored. The participant will leave with clear clinical reasoning skills to determine the source of a client’s pain and the technical skills to positively affect that pain.

This protocol varies from other barefoot techniques in that no bars, overhead ropes, or oil is required. All techniques presented can be done with clients fully clothed in soft clothing, laying on cushions & the therapist can be barefoot or wear cotton socks. Therapist may stand or sit in a chair. These techniques similar to Sports Massage have a deep therapeutic effect on the client without putting any stress on the therapist’s body as hands are almost never used.

Students will learn the benefits and proper application of these full-body massage techniques. Michelle has advanced training in Fijian massage from the founder of Fijian Massage, Lolita Knight and is one of her few certified instructors.
