Access to Education Scholarship
BIOTONE and Whitney Lowe present the Access to Education Scholarship for massage therapists with a strong commitment, but limited access, to Continuing Education. Selected therapists will receive a scholarship to OMERI's e-Learning Program which provides the most comprehensive training in orthopedic massage available. Professionals are able to improve their practice, skills and careers with this innovative program.
Each program integrates anatomy, kinesiology and clinical science in rehabilitation practice to help you develop essential skills for recognizing and treating numerous soft-tissue pathologies. Innovative case studies give you real-life methods to apply to your clinical practice.
Courses are 6-weeks in duration and provide 40 CE hours.
Orthopedic Massage 1: This course covers evaluation and treatment of disorders of the back, neck and pelvis. We explore conditions such as thoracic outlet syndrome, spinal nerve compression pathologies, piriformis syndrome, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, low back pain, whiplash, and many more.
Orthopedic Massage 2: This course explores evaluation and treatment of conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, patellofemoral pain, tendinosis, shin splints, muscle strains, and many more. Numerous problems throughout the body result from lower extremity disorders because these are our limbs of locomotion. Very few courses address lower extremity issues in this detail and this course will be a great asset to your practice.
Orthopedic Massage 3: Focused on upper extremity disorders, this course will address evaluation and treatment of conditions such as shoulder impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome and numerous other upper extremity nerve entrapment syndromes, and many more. The repetitive nature of many occupations has led to the epidemic of upper extremity disorders and this course provides valuable tools to help you address these complaints with your clients.
