The Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: Assessment and Treatment: Level A course (formerly Global Trigger Point Therapy) is a hands-on course that focuses on myofascial pain caused by muscle and fascial pathologies. Trigger points are the main cause of myofascial pain.

The main topics of the courses are:

kinesiological and biomechanical assessment of the patient (myofascial chains);
differential diagnosis;
myofascial pain, their causes; reactions of muscle "chains" of trigger points and the mechanism of their formation; radiating pain from trigger points and associated joint blockages; characteristic pain of the patient; functional changes caused by trigger points.
Practical part: muscle relaxation techniques (based on muscle-fascia "chains") using the principles of global reciprocal inhibition, PIR according to K. Lewit, AEK (agonic eccentric contraction) techniques according to the Brugger concept.
