Janet G. Travell, MD Seminar Seriessm

Manual Trigger Point Therapy (MTT) Program

The MTT Program consists of six courses (MTT-1–MTT-6). MTT-1 is required before taking any other course in the series. Courses MTT-2, MTT-3, MTT-4, and MTT-5 can be taken in any order, however, we recommend attending the courses in order. Completion of MTT-1 through MTT-5 is required before attending MTT-6. The textbook Myofascial Trigger Points by Drs. Jan Dommerholt and Peter Huijbregts is required for all courses. The book can be ordered directly from Myopain Seminars (more information).

MTT Eligibility Chart

The workshops are designed for licensed healthcare professionals using manual or hands-on techniques to reduce pain and dysfunction, especially licensed massage therapists (LMT) and branches of that profession, and physical therapy assistants (PTA). This is also an alternative course for physical therapists who live in states where dry needling/intramuscular manual therapy has not been approved. Physicians and physician assistants, dentists, chiropractors, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, nurses, and nurse practitioners are also eligible.
