The PNMT Arm and Hand seminar is a one day intensive examining hand and arm issues including repetitive strain and various problems seen in everyday clinical practice. Arm and hand problems are extremely interesting and clearly in the soft-tissue domain, yet many therapists are not well familiar with the anatomy and possible pathologies. This is a complex area, but who better to treat it than people who use their hands as the tools for healing?

This class will take you to the next level of effectiveness with RSI problems.  In this seminar, you will assess specific muscles for individual involvement and treat each appropriately.

We will cover lateral and medial epicondylar pain and other common pain syndromes. In addition, a great amount of time is spent addressing how nerve entrapment syndromes are affected by muscles. (It is much greater than you think!) We will address entrapments of the radial, median, and ulnar nerve. Nerve issues are a whole new ballgame and PNMT can make a massive difference. This is not a quick recipe that promises to solve carpal tunnel in ten minutes or less. Real problems demand real answers. With PNMT, you will have the tools to effectively address the problem with measureable results.
