Dr Ben Benjamin

Ten Common Injuries Workshop

This workshop was designed by Dr. Ben Benjamin to help massage therapists and bodyworkers assess and treat specific injuries that challenge and frustrate most therapists. The workshop provides training in anatomy, assessment tests, treatment techniques, and client home exercises for the most typical injuries associated with ten common complaints: Subscapularis tendinitis, Tennis elbow, TP 7 ligament injuries, Iliolumbar ligament sprain, Patella tendinitis, Lateral ankle sprain, Frozen shoulder/Traumatic arthritis, Sacrotuberous ligament sprain, Medial collateral ligament sprain, and Achilles tendon strain.

How you can benefit:

• Come away with a foundation of assessment tools, including orthopedic tests to identify or rule out specific soft tissue injuries.
• Learn to distinguish actual injuries from chronic muscle tension.
• Acquire a precise and consistent means of evaluation.
• Improve your accuracy in identifying and treating injuries, resulting in more effective treatment of your clients.

You will walk out of the workshop ready to use this information on your very first Monday morning client.
