Course content
Treating problems in the shoulder region is a challenge to any therapist.
Many forget the front side of the sholder girdle. Sensory disturbances in the arms for example, is often due to tensions in the ventral shoulder area and the “three thoracic passages”. Knowing about these connections it is often simple to correct.
Shoulder problems tend to be complex in nature and because they often develop slowly, it is important to be able to identify the early signs and symptoms.

In this course we look at reflexological treatment of the most common shoulder problems:

• reduced motility
• inflammations
• instable shoulder joint
• the acromio-clavicular joint
• arthrosis
• frozen shoulder
• "rotator cuff" problems
• pinched nerves
• refered pain from the spine or inner organs
• the sterno-clavicular joint
• thoracic outlet syndrome
• pains around the shoulder blades
• sports injuries
• trigger points

You will learn to examine the shoulder area and apply techniques from Classical Reflexology, Nordic traditions, Nerve Reflexology, trigger points, tests and exercises.

With the workshop comes an extensive fully illustrated manual covering both theory and practise.

The course will be conducted with a mixture of lecturing, demonstrations and lots of practical hands-on work.

Continuing Training credits are available.
