I-NMT for Thoracic Outlet & Shoulder Mobilizers
16CE | Live (in person) course
Learn how postural distortions that deviate from homeostatic posture cause pain and inflammation in the shoulder region and, if not addressed, often prevent the full rehabilitation of this region.
Discover why it’s essential to properly release antagonist muscles to maintain shoulder integrity. Explore how distortions in the shoulder girdle contribute to postural dysfunction in the neck, thorax, and pelvis.
Study the thoracic outlet and brachial plexus and thoracic inlet and how they relate to treatment of the neck, shoulder and arm pain.
This class is taught by certified NMT therapists Laura Landsiedel Ford, or Jessica Mai.
