Toms River Campus: 2026: August 1 & 2 • 9am-6pm
Presented by Nicole Davis, LMT
DAY ONE
Head, Neck & Shoulders - 9am-1pm
Designed for therapists who want to deepen clinical accuracy, this course focuses on the functional anatomy of the head, neck, and shoulders. Through anatomical review, guided palpation labs, and range-of-motion assessments, you’ll refine your ability to locate key muscles, identify restrictions, and integrate assessment findings into effective treatment planning. Ideal for addressing chronic tension, headaches, and postural dysfunction.
Shoulder, Arm & Forearm - 2pm-6pm
The second half of the day provides an in-depth look at the functional anatomy of the shoulder, arm, and forearm. You’ll practice palpating major muscle groups, perform ROM assessments for the shoulder and elbow, and learn how to interpret findings to guide treatment decisions. Perfect for therapists working with repetitive strain, occupational stress, or athletic clients.
DAY TWO
Spine & Thorax - 9am-1pm
Focusing on the spine and thorax, this course blends anatomy review with hands-on palpation and spinal ROM assessment. Learn to identify key muscles, bony landmarks, and common imbalances while differentiating muscular versus structural restrictions. Therapists will leave with practical tools to improve outcomes for clients with back pain, postural issues, and thoracic restrictions.
Pelvis, Thigh & Leg - 2pm-6pm
Identify the major muscles of the pelvis, thigh, and leg, including their origins, insertions, and actions. Demonstrate palpation of gluteals, quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors, gastrocnemius, and soleus. Perform ROM assessments of the hip, knee, and ankle joints. Interpret palpation and movement findings to recognize muscular imbalance or restriction in the lower extremity. Integrate functional anatomy and assessment skills into lower-body treatment planning.
