About the Courses
MPS 6a/b: Review and Certification Examination

Program Overview

The successful completion of a Certification Course with written and practical examinations distinguishes the advanced practitioner from general practitioners. Certification in Trigger Point Therapy (with or without needling) is a rewarding conclusion of the entire course program. The Janet G. Travell, MD Seminar Series offers two certification programs:

  • The MPS 6a, Manual Trigger Point Therapy Certification, is the final step for those clinicians who have completed MPS 1–4 and who are not eligible for MPS 5.
  • The MPS 6b, Manual Trigger Point Therapy and Needling Certification, is geared toward those clinicians who have completed MPS 1–5.

The certification process for both tracks is similar and involves a one-day review course followed by a 2-hour multiple choice examination and two 25-minute practical examinations for the Manual Trigger Point Therapy Certification. The Manual Trigger Point and Needling Certification features two additional 25-minutes practical examinations in trigger point needling. The practical examinations will be monitored by a team of internationally known examiners in addition to faculty of the Janet G. Travell, MD Seminar Series.

The results of the certification examinations are confidential. Participants have to successfully complete all components of the certification process. Those participants who do not complete all components successfully are allowed to re-test individual components.
