Upper Body Sources of Low Back Pain

Course Details

Non-traumatic, chronic back pain often is often caused by issues upstream to the low back. When clients have chronic low back pain, finding and treating contributing structures from the upper body can be the key to effect full resolution.

Learn dynamic assessments and treatments for relationships of the following structures to low back pain, including: organs, bones, joints, and myofascia of the torso, upper extremities, neck and head. By the end of class students will be able to confidently assess and treat non-local structures contributing to stubborn, non-abating low back pain.

Note:  This class is a sister class to “Finding the Source of Low Back Pain”, but is all new material.

“A+ Very calming manner, takes time to answer questions. He’s great one on one. I liked the chance to feel for myself what is happening in the body, very easy to follow. Teacher was unexpectedly hilarious, which made me feel less nervous.”

Fantastic. Love the easy going attitude and ability to make the student feel comfortable and at ease while learning new material. Great way to learn how to assess the body in a new way.
Amber Lopez, LMP
This class is up with the best-clear instruction and useful material. I will be able to apply what I have learned immediately. I liked the fact you are teaching us to view the body from the bones and joints to change our way of considering only muscles.
