In September 2020, we hosted Whitfield Reaves, OMD, L.Ac. for another FREE webinar, Treating and Correcting Shoulder Posture.
In this webinar, Whitfield taught a simple treatment plan for the treatment and correction of shoulder posture. This includes anterior shoulder and forward head posture, both are now seen more often in our new world of laptops, tablets, and smart phones. This is now exaggerated due to our shelter in place lifestyle during these COVID months. Chinese medicine and specifically acupuncture do not address this situation very clearly, and as it becomes such an important clinical finding in the modern world it is important for practitioners to learn how to approach these treatments. Watch this previously recorded webinar and learn a few simple tricks to show you how to get those shoulders to stay back and to keep the neck and head upright.
What You Will Learn:
- Treating the rhomboid minor to activate shoulder and scapular retraction.
- Releasing the shortened and tightened pectoralis minor, which pulls the shoulder forward in protraction.
- A quick and easy point or two to activate the posterior neck muscles enhancing upright head posture.
Who Should Watch:
- Practitioners and students looking to learn more about the sports medicine approach to treating/correcting posture.
- Practitioners and students looking to learn more about sports acupuncture.
- Practitioners and students looking to add to their treatment tool box.
