Pin & Stretch                                                                                                                         Rutherfordton, NC
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Saturday, October 19, 2019
Time: 9am-6pm
Tuition: $140 (or $125 if combined with Ortho) 
CEUs: 8

Course Description:  Pin and Stretch Technique is a movement based muscle lengthening approach that is highly effective at assisting/treating issues with muscle, tendon, ligament and fascia. Tissues that may appear abnormal with regard to texture, tightness, movement, and function are treated with stretching combines with sliding force, which are intended to increase movement of the tissues by removing or breaking up adhesions. You may accomplish this by way of C-clamping or direct pressure applied tissue you wish to release. Pin and Stretch requires client participation for its overall effectiveness with regards to Targeted areas that are identified in muscles and tendons where overuse or dysfunction may have caused repetitive injury and the potential for scar tissue build up. As a result, this may cause nerve irritation, shorten the potential length of muscles and may produce tendons irritation. By this application of direct pressure while the client performs specific motions to lengthen the tissue in the specific movements, the result is to ultimately release underlying tissues. This has the potential to increases blood flow, reduces nerve pain, improve range of motion, and increases strength.

Orthopedic Assessment & Correction
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Sunday, October 20, 2019
Time: 9am-6pm
Tuition: $140 (or $125 if combined with P&S) 
CEUs: 8

Course Description:  A systematic process of gathering information, which provides the therapist the information necessary to determine appropriate treatment. Identify the tissues involved and assess their dysfunction. The therapist will utilize the below techniques to assess the client. With these assessments we can ascertain which techniques may assist the client in less pain. Range of motion and resistive testing (Protocol) 1)Evaluate the client’s ability to move actively Active ROM use both contractile tissues (muscles and tendons) which produce movement and inert tissues (nerves, bursa and fascia) 2)Evaluate the clients ability to move passively Passive ROM uses the inert tissues (joints, nerves, bursa and fascia) which reveal different symptoms than contractile tissues 3)Evaluate the clients ability against resistance (isometric movements) These tests may confirm the active tests. Since these tests involve no movement the inert tissues are not involved. These tests involve the proper contraction of muscles and tendons 4)Special tests These tests are Orthopedics tests and may indicate a specific problem such as rotator cuff tears and carpal tunnel syndrome. The tests results are either positive or negative. 5) Joint Capsule Work While checking client`s range of motion observe the end feel of the movement. If the end feel is bone on bone like perform capsule work. If end feel is leather in feel perform soft tissue work.

Cupping Therapy                                                          Augusta, GA
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Saturday, March 23, 2019
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $140  (or $125 if combined with Septa)
CEUs: 8

Course Description: Cupping therapy is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that has been used for thousands of years as a highly effective treatment for a variety of conditions, including skin conditions and musculoskeletal complaints.

The course will begin with a thorough history of cupping and move into how to utilize the cups and how to sanitize and clean the cups. We will also discuss contraindications and indications regarding cupping. There are many known benefits of cupping, by lifting tissue instead of pressing tissue. The lifting of tissue has a profound effect on the deeper structures.

Participants will be able to show proficiency in utilizing cupping on various parts of the body.

This course will instruct by demonstration/practice with participants utilizing techniques: cupping on the neck, shoulders, arms, wrist and hands, along with abdomen, back, gluteals, legs, calves and feet.

Intermuscular Septum Massage
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Sunday, March 24, 2019
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $140  (or $125 if combined with Cupping) 
CEUs: 8

Course Description: "The Missing Link in adhesions."

Intermuscular Septum is described as:  A thin layer of closely packed bundles of collagen fibers, possibly with several preferential directions predominating, arranged in various layers. The septa separate different, usually antagonistic, muscle groups (for example, flexors and extensors), but may not limit force transmission.

This course will focus on techniques to separate muscles throughout the body, along their septa, to release adhesions.

Functional Integrated Therapy                                                                                                         Jacksonville, FL
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Saturday-Sunday, February 9-10, 2019
Time: 2 days from 9am-5pm
Tuition: $299  CEUs 16

Course Description:  FIT is a one of a kind multidisciplinary approach developed by Mark Carangelo. FIT integrates pain science, development neuromuscular sequencing, movement screenings, rolling patterns and crawling, vestibular reading balance, manual muscle testing, parasympathetic ns activation, osteopathic alignments, orthopedic assessments, (passive, active, resistive and special tests) along with myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching, corrective exercise (client home care) and joint mobilizations to facilitate an overall balance of the body resulting in structural integration, pain free movement and enhanced overall performance. As therapists, we need to assess movement patterns and make corrective methods for the client’s long term health. People compensate for faulty movement patterns and the proper assessment is key to correction of these compensation patterns. Reprogramming the CNS will allow for the client to regain the proper motor control sequencing. We should be looking at the body from the inside out not the other way around.

It is paramount to make an accurate assessment of the condition in which your client presents. If the therapist assesses the patient has a stability issue over a mobility issue the correction can be quite different. Stability calls for developmental sequencing via rolling. These specific evaluations need to be correctly assessed to assure the proper treatment is conducted. Understanding how we function as humans is a major part of FIT.

Active Isolated Stretching (AIS)
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Saturday, September 29, 2018
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $125  CEUs 8

Course Description:  Aaron Mattes RKT, LMT Developed the Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) method. This method of fascial release provides effective dynamic facilitated stretching of major muscle groups, but more importantly functional and physiological restoration of superficial and deep fascial planes. Performing AIS, for no longer than 2.0 seconds, allows the targeted muscle to be optimally lengthened, without triggering the protective stretch reflex. AIS removes toxins from the bodies cells and allows for substantial improvements in the muscle elasticity, range of motion and eliminates postural distortions.

Kinetic Activation Technique (KAT)
Presented by Mark Carangelo
Augusta, GA

Date: Saturday, September 15, 2018
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $140*  CEUs 8

Course Description:  Kinetic Activation Technique is a form of manual muscle testing that breaks down relationships into easily implemented procedures. KAT discusses in depth the terms associated with Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) from reciprocal inhibition, synergistic dominance and others. Long and short lever muscles will be tested and we will be discussing their relationships to movement. KAT will provide solid MMT's with local and global concepts and how to connect the big picture of how the body moves.

Muscles that work in sequence may have reactive relationships. A muscle may test active on its own; however, the same muscle may test weak when tested in sequence with another muscle or kinetic chains of muscles. There are many situations when this may occur. Paired opposites may have this relationship or muscles in a line of force may display this reactive relationship. Muscles that are parallel to on another may display this reactive relationship as well. For example, psoas to psoas or QL to QL. Look to this type of relationship when muscles testing. In KAT, we look to muscles to reacting to one another and how they interfere with fluid movement.

KAT takes testing off the table and tests in all planes of movement.
