Advanced and extensive hands-on training for the entire body, addressing sports massage, sports medicine, and orthopedic massage.  They cover 30% more advanced information than the upper/lower body seminars combined, including releasing the superficial fascial front line, posturology, and the ability to tie the entire body together to sort out complicated pain patterns. Pre-event and post-event sports massage training is included.  You will learn sports injury prevention and how to align your work with sports medicine specialists.  All conditions listed for the upper and lower body will be covered in more detail, with more emphasis on structural integration and the ability to see how one area of the body can cause compensation patterns throughout the body. We will look in greater detail at things like upper cross syndrome, lower cross syndrome, ascending pain patterns, descending pain patterns, biomechanics, and myoskeletal alignment.

Kinetic Chain Patterns for Complicated Shoulder Conditions

James Waslaski
Saturday, October 17 - Sunday, October 18, 2026
9 am - 6 pm
16 CEs
Fee: $350

There is clinical evidence that a huge contribution to shoulder pain comes from prior injuries or surgeries (scars) and musculoskeletal imbalances throughout the entire body.  Fascial lines of tension can cause the entire body to compensate. Without doing Total Body Balancing Techniques and treating scars that have accumulated over a lifetime, the shoulder symptoms usually return. Therapists will evaluate the stirrup spring system in the ankle responsible for “Ascending Syndromes” that work their way up into the knee, hip, spine, shoulder, and neck. The therapist will also correct tibial torsion patterns in the knee, along with iliosacral torsions and resultant ascending roto-scoliosis of the lumbar spine.  If uncorrected, this can lead to ascending kyphosis of the thoracic spine and resultant Atlanto-occipital joint compression. After treating scars and doing total body balancing, manual therapists will evaluate and treat shoulder impingent, bursitis, bicipital tendinosis, rotator cuff injuries, and thoracic outlet. The highlight of this class will be new clinical studies and techniques that will revolutionize the treatment of advanced-stage adhesive capsulitis, known as “Frozen Shoulder.”
