THE ORTHOTHERAPY COURSE IS DESIGNED TO ACQUIRE THE RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO WORK WITH CLIENTS TO IMPROVE POSTURE, CORRECT MOVEMENT PATTERNS, AND IMPROVE NEURO-MUSCULAR FUNCTION

Orthotherapy allows the practitioner to evaluate postural imbalances and to construct an intervention plan that combines massage therapy with Kinesitherapy to improve acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

KINESITHERAPY IS A MANUAL THERAPY THAT AIMS TO RELEASE TISSUE AND JOINT RESTRICTIONS IN ORDER TO INCREASE AND/ OR RESTORE RANGE OF MOTION. THE LESS RESTRICTIONS THERE ARE, THE MORE THE ARTICULATION WILL BE MOBILE, WHICH ALLOWS THE KINESITHERAPIST TO TREAT THEIR CLIENTS

This training will deepen your knowledge of biomechanics and pathology, which will allow you to better assist your client and better adapt to their specific situation.

You will learn a very wide range of specific massage therapeutic techniques,mobilizations, fascia therapy, trigger points, tissue approximations, and rebounds.
