Live Pain Free without Drugs or Surgery
Integrated Positional Therapy Workshops
Integrated Positional Therapy is a program of Manual Therapy that is designed from Lee Albert’s training and experience of massage school, working with physical therapists, training in orthopedic massage, myofascial release and neuromuscular therapy. Lee developed his own approach that is based upon the osteopathic techniques of Strain/Counterstrain and Muscle Energy Technique. Lee looks at this from the viewpoint that in order to relieve the presenting condition it is vital that the body is brought into balance first by aligning the structure.
This balance is achieved by applying Strain/Counterstrain, Muscle Energy Technique and home care to eliminate the cause of most neuromuscular pain patterns. These techniques effectively treat pain due to injury, stress, repetitive strain, postural distortion and chronic neuromuscular conditions.
This class is for professionals including medical doctors, massage therapists, personal trainers, osteopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, yoga teachers and nurses and it is easy enough for lay people to learn and use on themselves, friends and family.
