Short overview and structure of the online course

Trigger points are one of the most controversial yet exciting topics to address and analyze in massage and other fields. There are many different views on trigger points; therefore, it is reasonable to analyze these viewpoints in detail. Consequently, this e-course aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the trigger-points system in the context of skeletal muscle and its effects on the body as a whole. It also makes sense to view trigger points in parallel with the field of massage.

Prerequisites for enrolling in an online course

There is one prerequisite for participation in the Trigger-Points online course. You must have previously completed at least Functional Anatomy online course or a similar course.

If possible, we prefer to create an additional video clip to accompany the online course when answering questions.
