Course Description

Trigger points, myofascial pain and central sensitization: A practitioners field guide. This one-day course will explore as many as 18 key trigger points that every MSK physiotherapist must master. With 75% of the day spent in hands-on practice, 25% of the day is dedicated to the most recent research and theory of the origin of myofascial trigger points and the role of central sensitization in sustaining or maintaining them. In addition to a solid paradigm for effective assessment and treatment, this course will help you master the manual skills you need to treat myofascial pain without the use of needles. The course manual is provided in the form of a "field guide", including key information about a selection of key muscles and trigger points. In the spirit of a naturalist making observations in the field, there is room for the participant to record their observations and notations for each key muscle throughout the day. This unique 'workbook' style is designed to reinforce learning and retention. Instructor: Jeff Begg. Jeff is a Fellowship-trained manipulative physiotherapist with more than 25 years of private practice experience in both the US and Canada. In 2014 he qualified as Edmonton’s first CPA-certified Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist (MSK). Over 20 years as both a Clinical Lecturer and a Clinical Assistant Professor with the University of Alberta, he has mentored numerous PT students and post-graduate physiotherapists.
