Trigger points — hypersensitive nodules within skeletal muscle — are implicated in 75 to 90% of all musculoskeletal pain presentations. They mimic radiculopathy, headaches, joint pain and dozens of other conditions, making them one of the most misdiagnosed phenomena in clinical practice. This course gives you the diagnostic precision to identify them and the therapeutic skill to eliminate them.
Developed by Dr. Joe Rosário, PhD, with over 25 years of clinical and teaching experience, this programme uses a clear, systematic methodology grounded in the original work of Travell and Simons and refined through thousands of clinical cases. By the end of day two, you will have the tools to resolve presentations that have frustrated both you and your patients for years.
Certified by Manual Therapy Academy (Canada), this course is taught by our experienced clinical faculty in an intensive in-person masterclass format with a small group — ensuring you receive individual correction and real clinical confidence.
Basic knowledge of anatomy and musculoskeletal assessment. Open to all registered healthcare professionals and advanced students.
Upon completion, you receive an internationally recognised certificate issued by Manual Therapy Academy (Canada) — 30 hours of CPD credit. Valid across Europe for continuous professional development requirements.
I had been treating neck pain for years with limited success. After this course I understand exactly why — and now I can resolve it in 1–2 sessions. This knowledge alone was worth ten times the course fee.
The trigger point course is not just theory. By the afternoon of day one, I was already getting local twitch responses. Day two I treated a colleague's chronic shoulder pain that had not responded to anything else. Outstanding.
