In a recent study, the likelihood of someone experiencing neck pain each year is about 23%. In other words, about 1 in 4 people
will have a bout of neck pain this year, with the incidence rate being much higher in people who work in an office at a computer.
These numbers translate to the massage table; neck pain will account for many of the visits to massage therapists this year.
The reality is neck pain is complex. Releasing the suboccipitals can be wonderful in certain circumstances, disastrous in others.
There is no routine that works for all the different iterations of possible neck issues. In PNMT, we don't teach routines, we focus on
reasoning and problem solving. That takes time and expert guidance from the instructor. There is NO substitute for hands-on
experience and the guidance of a mentor, especially in an area so small and complex as the neck.
Please join us in a weekend devoted to issues of the neck and head. We'll walk you through problem solving strategies that you can
use immediately in your clinic on Monday. Your clients will notice the difference! In the end, better client outcomes mean better
therapist incomes. Please dress comfortably for this class and bring one sheet set, face cradle, and blanket for each day. Massage
tables and water provided. (16 CE hours for Massage Therapists. PNMT Doug Nelson President, Instructor TBD, NMT Midwest INC NCBTMB #286519-00).
