Advanced Pain Relief - Learn special palpation techniques for both Active and Latent Trigger

Trigger points are small hypersensitive areas within the muscle tissue.

We usually discern 2 types of trigger points: 

       Latent trigger points, which can cause pain and discomfort with movement
      • Active trigger points, which are already emitting pain.

      These two types of trigger points require different palpation techniques.

      Using our practical palpation technique, we teach you advanced trigger point release methods. By learning these skills, you can detect latent trigger points at an early stage and massage them before they become active trigger points and cause pain.

      Pain Relief - Learn palpation techniques for optimal outcomes

      In RSM Massage Training Courses, we teach you how to use palpation techniques to locate and release both types of trigger points, including those located in the deeper layers of muscle tissue.

      Palpation is an essential skill that allows massage therapists to identify areas of tension and restriction, which can be treated with specific techniques to alleviate pain and discomfort.

      We emphasize the importance of using a combination of palpation techniques and functional anatomy knowledge to get a complete picture of the muscle tissue. Our course will provide you with the practical skills you need to address your client's pain.

      If you want to go further in the direction of pain management and postural improvement, our comprehensive massage training also includes myofascial release, and deep tissue massages.

      Posture Correction: Learn how to trigger the right points to have a significant impact

      When a client presents poor posture, you know that it can be both the cause and the consequence of pain.

      Professional massage therapists need to understand how to analyze postural imbalances and correct these issues.

      In this Massage Training Course, we emphasize the importance of trigger point palpation and identifying surrounding muscle tension, as well as other contributing factors to poor posture.

      By understanding the relationship between trigger points and muscle imbalances, you'll be able to provide your clients with effective massages and advice on how to reduce pain and facilitate general postural improvement.
