K-Power® Shoulder / Arm Protocol 

This workshop focuses on the 22 muscles of the shoulder girdle.

Clients rarely ask for help because of ‘imbalances in their muscle energy’ - rather they come complaining of pain, restricted movement, weakness, or a combination of these. The condition may or may not be the result of an injury. Frequently they will have seen another practitioner who has given them anti-inflammatory medication, and sent them for physiotherapy or massage. The person may have had a poorer response to the treatment than they expected and now is shopping around for an alternative.

The purpose of this workshop is to develop skill and understanding in evaluating and balancing muscle energy imbalances in the 22 muscles of the shoulder girdle. We will not only work with the physical but with the mental, emotional and metaphysical aspects of shoulder problems. The expressions that clients use such as, “I’m shouldering my burdens” can be very significant clues to client management.

This is a one day workshop and can be taken after completing the 5 Elements Fundamentals and Muscle Testing Basics and Core Muscles and Techniques workshops.
