Cervicogenic and Tension Headaches: Advanced Myofascial Techniques

4 CE Hours

Class description:

Not all headaches are created equal. Although working with headaches may sometimes appear to be straightforward, there are many sources of head pain, and what helps with one kind, can actually worsen another.

Join popular teacher, Massage & Bodywork columnist, and “Advanced Myofascial Techniques” author Til Luchau as he presents a clear model for understanding, recognizing, and working with many types of headaches, informed by both recent fascial research and evolving biopsychosocial perspectives. The morning section includes theory; 3D anatomy review, and a toolbox of hands-on techniques for working with tension headaches, myofascial headaches, and cervicogenic headaches (migraines will be further addressed in the optional afternoon section). Includes course manual and credit towards Certification in Advanced Myofascial Techniques.

Supplies for Class - Massage table & linens

PLEASE DO NOT WEAR PERFUME, COLOGNE OR ESSENTIAL OILS TO CLASS.
