Are you among the growing number of dental professionals suffering from neck and back pain? Does your daily routine cause numbness and tingling sensations or chronic pain that impacts your ability to adequately treat patients? This course offers an exclusive structural redevelopment and wellness program to address the serious musculoskeletal disorders that afflict many dentists and team members. Mr. Williamson will review clinical observations, muscle recruitment, spine segmental mobility and breathing techniques to restore function and alleviate pain. A unique training regimen will be introduced to address specific injuries and dysfunction caused by repetitive workplace positions and movements.
