Final Con-Ed Courses for Spring 2015 NOVEL APPROACH TO TREATING AXILLARY WEB SYNDROME Paul Lewis, BA, RMT, NCBTMB 5/24/15, 10-2, $90/$100 + HST, 2 CEUs - Cat A Axillary web syndrome (AWS), also called lymphatic cording, typically presents in the weeks after axillary surgery for breast cancer. This painful condition is likely angiolymphatic in origin. It restricts use of the upper extremity and has no established treatment although physical therapy and other approaches have been used to variable effect. We apply therapeutic massage techniques using Dynamic Angular Petrissage (DAP) with the aim of quickly but gently reducing upper extremity pain and improving range of motion. DAP is a prerequisite for this course. MANUAL APPROACH TO WORKING IN THE PELVIC REGION Katerina Pek, MD (cz), RMT 5/30/15-5/31/15, 10-6, $335/$365 + HST, 7 CEUs - Cat A This course is based on the principles of Dynamic Posture and Spiraldynamik. It emphasizes improvement of the function of the pelvic region – especially normalization of the muscle tone and circulation, and uses myofascial techniques to loosen scar tissue in the abdominal cavity. It is an effective supportive approach for individuals who have functional gynecological and urinary disorders. Emphasis is put on external manual treatment of malpositions of the coccyx and activation of the pelvic floor musculature. In addition to manual therapy, specific exercises for the lumbar and pelvic regions are given. To get the lower price, register by the early bird deadline.
