Athletes are always looking for a new cutting edge approach to improve performance and avoid injuries at all costs. One way to do this is through the practice of kinesiology or muscle testing, a therapy technique which identifies imbalances by testing an individual’s ability to hold various muscles throughout the body against applied pressure. As a massage therapist, muscle testing not only reveals whether specific muscles have sufficient strength, it can also alert you to any serious imbalances. Your instructor, J. Nicholas Tortoreiello, will you teach you how you can improve your clients’ range of motion by locating the weak muscles and improving on their function. This webinar will primarily focus on the hip.
