Your instructor, Deborah Kimmet, has worked with certified hand therapists in a clinical setting and has the background to provide you with invaluable information to help you and your clients prevent and recover from many upper extremities issues.  You will not find this information organized as clearly or as comprehensively anywhere else.

 

 Information Includes:

 

  • How to make your hands-on work more effective by teaching clients simple movements that can be performed during or between sessions:

     

    • Learn how these gentle, activating movements quickly loosen muscles that attach to shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands.

       

    • Learn how to detect faulty movement patterns and help clients change dysfunctional habits.

       

    • Learn when and how to incorporate movement into your treatment plans to reinforce your soft tissue work.

       

    • Teach clients how to keep an area moving between sessions and involve them in their healing process with specific, effortless movements for self-care.

       

  • Movements to address common and not-so-common upper extremity pathologies: adhesive capsulitis, repetitive motion disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, CRPS, thoracic outlet syndrome, DeQuervain’s Tenosynovitis, and more.

     

  • Ergonomic and other self-care tips to give your clients to help prevent or recover from repetitive motion disorders.

About Deborah:
PMT Seminars is owned and operated by Deborah Kimmet, a nationally recognized educator. She is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a continuing education Approved Provider. The PMT concepts were developed as a culmination of Deborah's 22+ years of clinical practice, research and learning. It was while searching for muscle-specific movement work to augment her hands-on soft tissue work that led Deborah to develop PMT Seminars. "There just didn't seem to be anything out there that brought the material together in a specific, organized way." Bringing over 30 years of group facilitation and teaching skills to the classroom, Ms. Kimmet teaches with a dose of humor and a focus on finding innovative methods to help students understand and retain the coursework. One of our students wrote: “Deborah presents material more clearly and comprehensively than any other instructor I've experienced. Complex postural problems become clear.” To find out more about Deborah go to: http://www.practicalmovement.com/aboutus.html To find out more about the seminars go to: http://www.practicalmovement.com
