This course covers the core muscles that we have identified as the essential group responsible for 90% of shoulder pain cases). Key topics include:

✅ How to analyze and discover the muscles that are at the root of the client's shoulder pain

✅ The most common patterns of up regulation and engagement that the CNS employs in shoulder pain

✅ Powerful techniques that use neurological distraction to hack the nervous system and give the body the experience of pain-free movement

The syndrome informally called sciatica is poorly understood by almost everyone. Travell & Simons point out that sciatica is not a diagnosis - the term is only descriptive of a pattern of pain that may involve hip, gluteal, low back and radiating leg pain. 

You will learn the best techniques and  treatment order for the muscles related to sciatica, low back, hip and leg pain, how to work with their functionally-related muscle groups, what techniques to use, self care ideas, corrective exercise and more.

Learn to assess and correct the primary perpetuators of trigger points and chronic pain, including leg length discrepancy, hyperpronation, postural issues and more.

Most pain comes from muscles that have adapted to acute or chronic stresses in the body. When muscles are under stress, they are likely to develop trigger points, which have been shown in several studies to be responsible for the vast majority of pain in the body.

This course goes into detail on how we analyze the factors that set up a person't pain condition. This is the most important part of what we do, and the only way to ensure lasting results.

Discover how the top 1% of fitness and movement professionals are using this innovative method to eliminate pain and movement limitations, stand out from the competition, and turbocharge their businesses. Keep them moving, improving and happy, and watch your clientele explode.

Functional anatomy is an essential area of knowledge for anyone who wants to help people with pain and movement limitation. Covers 60 of the foundational muscles for trigger point therapists, and for each muscle discusses:

✅ Muscle actions and function during the activities of life

✅ How to isolate, palpate, passively shorten, actively contract and stretch the muscle in convenient treatment positions on the mat

✅ Common complaints and referred pain caused by the muscle

Handling this issue correctly may mean the difference between recurrent sciatic pain and being able to live pain-free. Earn 1 NCBTMB CE by successfully completing the quiz.

You will learn:

✅ The physiology and neuroscience behind therapeutic percussion and vibration, and how they influence trigger points

✅ Why percussion treatments tend to only provide temporary relief and the specific keys that will make results long-lasting 

✅ How to incorporate movement during percussion and facilitate fast muscle release

Many massage therapists encounter clients diagnosed with sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, yet modern research and clinical experience challenge the validity of this diagnosis. This class debunks common misconceptions about SI joint dysfunction and provides an evidence-based approach to treating sacral and low back pain.

Students will explore the anatomy and biomechanics of the SI joint, understand why the joint itself is not the source of pain, and learn how muscle dysfunction—particularly trigger points in the quadratus lumborum and gluteal muscles—are the true culprits. 

We’ve been told again and again that rotator cuff injuries are to blame for nearly all shoulder pain. But here’s the truth: very few cases of chronic shoulder pain are due to actual injury.

In this remote study course, Chuck Duff, founder of Coaching The Body®, will show you:

✅ Why imaging often leads therapists and clients down the wrong path
✅ How trigger points in key scapular stabilizers mimic rotator cuff pain
✅ How to assess scapular positioning and treat the true underlying cause

Are You Tired of Living with Sciatica and Hip Pain?

Do you find yourself at a loss when dealing with sciatica or hip pain? Do you feel unsure of what to do when pain or movement limitations arise during exercise or daily activities? Is it seemingly getting worse despite modifying exercises and regressing movements? Are traditional approaches to addressing hip, low back and leg pain and movement issues falling short?

Don't let it hold you back anymore! Discover the Coaching The Body™ method and learn how to free yourself from pain and movement limitations, so you can get back to doing what you love.

Most shoulder pain is muscular in origin - not injury - and is eminently treatable.

This online course, consisting of nearly 3 hours of video instruction, downloads and a PDF workbook, guides you through the steps necessary to treat your own shoulder pain. Treating pain successfully requires that you understand the true source of most pain.

Coaching The Body™ uses an updated model of trigger point therapy along with principles of neuroscience to find the true source of your shoulder pain. We've been applying these principles successfully in our clinic and school for the last 15 years, and now this unique knowledge is available to you for use at home.
