The UNM Myofascial Institute provides two intensive hands-on trainings for TPI & Manual Release. Each course will be two-day trainings in techniques to address myofascial pain syndrome, a common chronic pain diagnosis. Dedicated courses in trigger point injection (TPI) and manual therapy will be offered. Participants will be expected to review materials in advance of the course and be prepared to practice skills on each other during the course. The TPI course is designed for those who can perform TPI, who have the injection privilege and to train clinicians to be able to independently practice advance TPI. Each course is specifically designated for individuals who have not previously taken it.
At the conclusion of the training, the participant should be able to:
• Identify common myofascial pain syndromes in the clinical setting.
• Perform basic and advanced trigger point injection (TPI) in patients with myofascial pain syndrome.
• Enumerate techniques to maximize patient safety related to performing TPI.
At the conclusion of the training, the participant should be able to:
• Identify common and subtle myofascial syndromes in the clinical setting.
• Perform basic and advanced release techniques for patients with myofascial pain syndrome.
• Identify factors that are likely to perpetuate myofascial trigger points and discuss mitigation.
The courses are designed for those who can perform TPI/have the injection privilege and to train clinicians to be able to independently practice advanced TPI or manual therapy. These courses are intended for acupuncturists, chiropractors, doctors of oriental medicine, massage therapists, myofascial therapists, nurse practitioners, occupational therapists, physical therapists and physicians. These courses are specifically designated for individuals who have not previously taken them.
