The Ventresca Method – Hands-On Practical Intensive Training in Trigger Point Needling
The Ventresca Method is a myofascial-based treatment approach that combines needling techniques, with diagnostic and treatment protocols to speed the diagnosis and treatment of many common musculoskeletal, myofascial, and neurological disorders. You’ll learn to safely implement some of the most powerful needling treatments and techniques for the treatment of pain, and will see immediate, dramatic results in the classroom and in your practice. We focus on myofascial stress and strain, which manifests in predictable patterns of trigger points. Using the myofascial stress patterns as guides, the body is divided into zones: posterior, anterior, lateral, medial, head, neck, and belt. Disorders within each zone can be treated with specific treatment protocols that may include: local, distal, proximal, and adjacent points; needling techniques; electrical stimulation; far-infrared heat; and instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation. The joining of myofascial patterns and treatment protocols creates a hybrid diagnostic/treatment approach that is highly effective and easily integrated into almost any practice. In addition to the clinical material, this 2-Day/12-Hour Course incorporates safe and clean needle handling practices and legal and practical information on incorporating needling therapies into an existing practice.
