Joints: Pain Reduction for Osteoarthritis

Sat, Oct 18, 8:30AM-5:45PM

Durham, NC, 8CE

Taut Band Therapy can help you to provide greater reduction of pain, increases in range of motion and improved functional abilities for your patients with osteoarthritis. Injury, inflammation and pain within the joint capsule often provoke hypertonic conditions in the muscles that provide stability and movement for that joint. Although secondary in cause, these muscular problems often become “primary” in the generation of pain and associated disability. Studies of joints and strategies for pain reduction will include shoulder, hip and knee; treatment and hands on sessions will focus on hip joints.
