Description
If you are a massage therapist, you probably already know how difficult plantar fasciitis can be to treat successfully. You are about to learn a completely new evidence based approach that has proven to be successful at treating this condition using specific massage techniques, advice and recommendations all based on current up to date research studies and clinical trials.Your massage clients will be so appreciative of your knowledge, skills and professionalism as you are going to be speaking to them and treating them from an informed perspective.Imagine being the massage therapist with the reputation that gets great clinical results when treating plantar fasciitis no matter how acute or chronic. As word spreads about your reputation that you help your massage clients where others couldn't, your business will grow and you will get more and more referrals.Then, you may be asked if you can help them with other problems that they may have. After all, you helped them with their foot pain when no-one else could so you are more likely going to be asked to help treat their back pain, or knee pain or...fill in the blank.And before you know it, your massage clinic is full. As you know, whether it's a plumber, mechanic, electrician, chiropractor or massage therapist, if they fix your problem then you are most likely to call them again when you have another problem. After all, they did such a great job before, you will trust their skill and expertise in the future.Massage therapy is no different!That is who you will be after completing this course!Why a new approach to treating plantar fasciitis?Well, quite simply put, the evidence has been underwhelming from the studies before this. As you are about to learn, not only do the assessment techniques not don't give consistent results for diagnosing plantar fasciitis, but neither do certain massage techniques and so many other aspects of treating plantar fasciitis successfully.What don't you know about plantar fasciitis or maybe what you do know is not correct?Consider this:As a massage therapist, do you know what we have learned from numerous past high quality clinical studies and more importantly, whether you should even be recommending them anymore?In 'A Massage Therapist's Guide to Treating Plantar Fasciitis Certificate Course' you will learn (all based on the NEW evidence):Why the current assessment techniques need to be changed and what we should do insteadWhy plantar fasciitis shouldn't be called that at all, or heel spur for that matter or any other names you may like to use.Which stretches should be recommended and which ones are not effectiveWhich treatments have been studied over the years and what the results were (think massage, ice therapy, taping, dry needling, rest, orthotics and many more)What the risk factors are and the results from looking at the studies. Should you recommend orthotics for flat feet? are pronated ankles a causative factor? what about excessive standing? poor footwear? obesity? running?and so much more!I am going to give you a very clear evidence based approach that you can now start implementing with your massage clients and take away the guesswork. You will now be able to assess, treat and recommend to your massage clients using what works and forget about what doesn't.As a massage therapist, it is vital that you treat your massage clients not based on hearsay or anecdotal evidence but from hard clinical evidence.Imagine being the massage therapist with the reputation that gets great clinical results when treating plantar fasciitis no matter how acute or chronic time and time again.
