Neck 5-Program Training Series: Assessment and Treatment of Soft Tissue Pain and Injury

Instructor: Ben Benjamin

The Neck: Orthopedic Massage Series Assessment and Treatment Strategies for Soft Tissue Pain and Injury Training 

Dr. Ben Benjamin makes this highly technical and complex material clear and accessible. With precision, humor, and insight he uses a step-by-step approach to teach practitioners the anatomy, assessment, treatment techniques, and injury rehabilitation for working with neck pain.

You'll learn how to differentiate muscle and ligament injuries from more serious disc injuries, and you'll fine-tune your palpation skills and hands-on treatment techniques. After you've learned the theoretical background, assessment procedures, and treatment techniques, we integrate this knowledge through enactment of a real case.
