| Price: $575 (Early Registrant Price $550) Experience Level: Intermediate Contact Hours: 17 |
This continuing education course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge concerning the connective tissue that interplays within the muscular system of the trunk, hip, pelvis and lower extremity as it relates to treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. This course is geared toward the therapist that wishes to integrate a variety of manual therapy techniques for treating the myofascial system. Material will be presented that includes the science and evidence behind myofascial release, relevant anatomical structures, clinical reasoning and an extensive number of treatment techniques. Lab sections include both surface and internal vaginal/rectal techniques. The goal is to provide the clinician that is currently treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction additional tools that they can immediately incorporate into their clinical practice.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

I can't wait to go to the clinic in order to add all of the emerging techniques to my repertoire. Ramona always goes above and beyond to impart as much information and techniques as possible.

Ramona has so much to offer in anatomy, treatments, and research. I always leave with a full brain. Great clinical applications.

The myofascial course by Ramona C. Horton MPT is by far my favorite. All Herman and Wallace courses are amazing and I learn so much but, after Ramona’s course I was able to apply her techniques with confidence the very next day. Her techniques apply to all my patients and myself. She taught us new therapist positions for better body mechanics. These little corrections were felt immediately. She is knowledgeable, funny, and on task. I highly recommend her course and I can’t wait to take the other courses she has developed.

This course exceeded my expectations. The techniques shown were more than enough to treat a variety of pelvic floor disorders in addition to orthopedic complaints.The instructor did an awesome job of answering questions and was always present to help during lab.
