Description

Stop Guessing How to Treat Neck Pain

Every massage therapist has experienced it.

A client walks through your door complaining of neck pain, headaches, or a pinched nerve. You give the best massage you know, recommend a few stretches, and hope they'll feel better.

Sometimes they do.

Sometimes they return a week later with exactly the same problem.

This course is designed to change that.

Learn From One of the World's Best-Selling Massage Instructors

I'm Mark Perren-Jones. During my 30-year career I've treated professional athletes, celebrities, Presidents and thousands of people suffering from neck pain. I've also taught more than 300,000 students in over 150 countries.

In this course I'll teach you the same systematic, evidence-based approach I use every day to assess neck pain, identify what's really causing it, and choose the treatment most likely to produce lasting results.

This isn't another course full of random massage techniques.

It's a complete clinical system you can use immediately.

What You'll Learn

• How to assess neck pain quickly and confidently.

• The difference between muscular pain, disc injuries, facet joint pain and pinched nerves.

• Which treatments work—and which commonly recommended techniques may actually delay recovery.

• The best stretches and mobility exercises for different neck conditions.

• Exercises that should be avoided in certain cases.

• How to recognise acute, chronic and recurring neck pain.

• How to educate your clients so they recover faster.

• A step-by-step treatment system you can use with every client.

Why This Course Is Different

Most massage courses teach techniques.

This course teaches clinical decision-making.

Instead of wondering which technique to try next, you'll learn how to understand the source of your client's pain and confidently choose the most appropriate treatment based on current pain science and clinical evidence.

That means better outcomes, more confident treatments, and clients who keep coming back because they're getting real results.

Perfect For

• Massage therapists

• Myotherapists

• Bodyworkers

• Physiotherapy and chiropractic students

• Manual therapists

• Anyone wanting a deeper understanding of neck pain and pinched nerves

By The End Of This Course

You'll stop relying on guesswork.

Instead, you'll have a practical framework for assessing neck pain, selecting the right treatment, recommending the right home care, and helping your clients recover with greater confidence.

If you're ready to become the therapist people trust when neck pain walks through the door, I'll see you inside the course.

Who this course is for:

  • For massage therapists that want to have an evidence based approach to treating neck pain and pinched nerves that is based on research. This course is for those that want to take the guesswork and the 'hit and hope' approach to treating neck pain no matter what the underlying causes are.
