Course Description
Learn to efficiently and effectively assess and treat MSK/Pain/Orthopedic patients with the EXSTORE™ Orthopedic System. This 3-day seminar is the most comprehensive seminar to date, covering intake, assessment, electro-stim needling of motor points, quick start soft tissue techniques, and focused rehab exercises to improve function, treat pain, reduce rehabilitation time, and improve clinical results.
Attendees will understand how to connect assessment to motor point selection and when to use specific techniques, to get to the root of the patient’s pain and dysfunction. Participants will return to their clinics with an entirely new perspective on treating musculoskeletal conditions resulting in faster treatments and outstanding results.
This seminar includes multiple demos on patients and volunteers with pain and dysfunction.
