Description

Roaming symptoms. Vague pains. No particular diagnosis to attribute to it. New complaints every few sessions. We’ve all been there.

These patients can often leave you feeling frustrated and defeated.

Learning more about myofascial chains revolutionized the way I treat these patients. I’m now able to quickly identify the root cause of dysfunction and alleviate symptoms sooner, often in just a few sessions!

Watch me, Dr. Rina Pandya, as we walk through the time-tested techniques that I’ve developed across my 20+ year career in outpatient therapy. We’ll begin with an in-depth tour of the fascial anatomy and how utilizing those links can help you to provide rapid improvement in movement, stability, strength and functional gains.

Discover how you can:

  • Pinpoint commonly missed diagnoses related to myofascial restrictions
  • Save time and resources for you and your patient with these streamlined techniques
  • Eliminate pain while simultaneously improving biomechanics of the UE

This concise course that will leave you feeling confident in your ability to solve those “mystery” diagnoses the very next day in clinic – resolving the issues that have nagged at these patients for weeks, months or even years!
