The Problems Therapists Face

An Example: Chronic Shoulder Pain That Keeps Coming Back

• Shoulder pain is at epidemic levels. Most approaches chase symptoms, not the source. "Rotator cuff pain" generally has little to do with the rotator cuff or joint – even if there is an identified injury.
• Treating the local shoulder muscles where pain is felt is likely to be a temporary fix.
  
• The real issue? Scapular dysfunction, satellite referral and untreated trigger points.
  
• Chronic shoulder pain can often lead to an inappropriate "frozen shoulder" or injury diagnosis. Studies show that both surgery and conventional non-invasive interventions have a high failure rate (40+% return in a year).

Get Results Fast

"Immediate Results. I am already seeing results with only the first two lessons." - Alex Destroismaisons, LMT

"I’m a COTA, every patient I have has some type of shoulder pain. In the first 2 weeks of this class, I’ve been able to effectively assess where the pain is actually coming from. I’ve helped 5 people eliminate their pain using the techniques Chuck teaches." - Diane Pabst, COTA

"This course should be all LMT’s first choice for CEU’s or be taught in all massage therapy classes. Chuck wants us to be successful and have better knowledge. I can finally work smarter and not harder. You don’t need to be an MD to understand him. Taking this course will help you in 1000 ways. I’ve taken so many classes and found one thing (CTB)  that was helpful. I Finally gained the confidence I have been wanting and raised my prices. Had no complaints from clients because they are seeing more results.I was finally able to help a lady with extreme frozen shoulder and sciatica after a couple of sessions... I ended up asking for a refund from a different course that I had just purchased six months prior because I couldn’t see results." - Brooke Anderson, LMT
