CE Class Details

Are you a massage therapist looking for NCBTMB approved CE classes? Join Cynthia Ribiero at NHI Studio City on January 25, 2025 from 9am-6pm for a one day in-person CE class on The Enigma of Hip Pain.

This in-person, hands-on workshop is for Massage Therapists eager to delve into the complexities of hip pain. In this immersive session, we will explore the neurological and muscular factors that contribute to chronic hip discomfort, often misunderstood and misdiagnosed.

Through expert-led academic lecture, demonstrations, and guided practice, you’ll learn the anatomy of the hip along with effective neuromuscular techniques to identify and treat common causes of hip pain, such as muscle imbalances, myofascial trigger points, and nerve entrapments. You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between the hips and surrounding areas like the pelvis, lower back, and thighs.

Key Takeaways:

• A comprehensive overview of hip anatomy and the neurological mechanisms behind hip pain.
• Advanced techniques in neuromuscular therapy to target specific muscles, fascia, and nerve pathways.
• Practical tools for assessing and treating both acute and chronic hip pain conditions.
• Effective strategies for integrating these techniques into your therapeutic practice for improved patient outcomes.

Whether you’re new to neuromuscular therapy or an experienced practitioner, this workshop will expand your toolkit, enhance your clinical skills, and equip you with the knowledge to address one of the most challenging areas of bodywork.
