RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment and Prevention
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and related repetitive strain injuries are on the rise. They affect many groups of people including manual therapists. Learn to prevent these injuries in yourself, and how to assist others to avoid these crippling conditions or to reduce their symptoms. The class includes detailed anatomy of the upper limb, neck and thorax, assessment methods, and highly effective low force treatment methods. These methods were developed by Rolfer Siana Goodwin for use in a major industrial facility where they reduced RSI related workmen's comp costs by 80%. Past students have raved about this class.

Repetitive Strain Injury Prevention & Treatment Class
This class is open to all licensed health care professionals. This educational workshop offers an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms by which repetitive strain injuries are created. As the name 'repetitive strain injury suggests' these problems usually develop slowly over time by way of small insults building up until a threshold is crossed where symptoms appear. The powerful low force techniques taught in this course can be used to reduce the effects of repetitive strains either before or after symptoms appear. 18 hours. 3 days.
