Description
The 2025 4 day Motor Point seminar with Rich Hazel to treat tricky conditions of the neck, shoulders, arms, as well as delving into the lower body in the pelvis and legs. There will be much more practical element to this course as there needs to be plenty of practice in the tricky areas of the neck for Motor point practice in order to avoid serious injury
So who is this workshop for?
This workshop is for qualified practitioners who are focused on treating acute or chronic pains and who work with professional or amateur athletes that would like to increase their performance and get reliable and measurable results!
Motor Point Acupuncture is highly effective and can produce fast and lasting results in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions such as:
- Migraines can be a combination or entrapped Occipital nerves and trigger points.
- Shoulder pain that is not resolved with motor points can often be due to trigger points in the Infraspinatus and Deltoids or the Coracobrachialis.
- Tennis elbow can be perpetuated by trigger points that are not releasing with motor points.
If you want to be able to treat the patients who are not getting better with just motor points you must learn to find and release the trigger points that generate pain and cause joint dysfunction.
- We’ll be covering motor points and trigger points for the first time ever.
- Learn how to palpate and treat trigger points with a gentle dry needling approach that I have developed over time.
- We’ll cover precautions, treatment and post treatment recommendations for your patients.
This seminar and workshop will assume some knowledge of anatomy so that we can get further into the actions of the muscles.
