August 29th – Targeting core and gluteal muscles: Solving Postural Pain at its source
Are you treating the pain… or the cause?
Many postural issues and chronic tension patterns start deep in the core.
In this 8 hour hands-on CE class, you’ll learn how the abdominals, psoas, and glutes shape alignment and stability—and how to release them effectively for lasting results.
Drawing on three decades as a PTA and over 12 years as an LMT, I’ll guide you through techniques that make real change possible.
August 30th – Secrets of the shoulder
Think you’ve tried everything for shoulder tension? Think again.
Sometimes, the real solution lies in the small deep, often-missed muscles that quietly limit mobility and cause chronic discomfort.
Join this 8 hour hands-on CE class to identify and treat those hidden structures — and learn techniques that create lasting, noticeable results for your clients.
