The MTT-1 course features a brief introduction to the history of trigger points and myofascial pain. Many muscles commonly addressed in clinical practice will be addressed, including muscles that Janda considered as ‘tonic’ muscles: the trapezius, levator scapula, posterior neck muscles, sub-occipital muscles, pectoralis major and minor, subclavius, sternalis, coracobrachialis, pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis and ulnaris, palmaris longus, flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus, pronator quadratus, sternocleidomastoid, scalenii, latissimus dorsi, teres major, serratus posterior inferior, quadratus lumborum, iliacus and psoas, tensor fascia lata, sartorius, quadriceps, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris, and popliteus muscles, among others. Students will review the anatomy, function, and manual therapy techniques for each muscle.
- Describe optimal musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology and the role of the sensory, motor and autonomic nervous systems; and to differentiate sub-optimal function
- Describe normal pain mechanisms; reception, transmission and modulation
