Pain in the musculoskeletal system is often a symptom of an imbalance elsewhere in the body. When a client complains of pain, they usually describe it in a specific area, but the site of the pain is not always the source of the problem. You will learn about different locations of pain in the body, how these pains may present based on your client’s descriptions, and the likely origins of the pain. Not all joint complexes or structures require the same treatment, making this course a unique and standout opportunity for those looking to enhance their therapeutic skills and offer more personalized care to their clients.
