Joining our International WHM™ Group
There is a severe global dearth of Trigger Point practitioners with extensive knowledge of this therapy
... we hope to do our part to correct this.
 
We are currently a small international group dedicated to the study and implementation of effective Trigger Point methods, based on the seminal work of Drs. Travell and Simons.
William Huhn Method™ Bodyworkers, have spent many hours studying the Travell & Simons Trigger Point Manuals - the average study time is about 1000 hours.
In our opinion, it takes this much time and commitment in order to have a comprehensive understanding of Trigger Point Therapy.
Most WHM™ Bodyworkers have also worked professionally with other types of bodywork, physical therapy, massage, or have worked in the health or fitness profession.
We hope you will consider joining our dedicated Trigger Point group.

Overview of Level 1 Workshop:

- This alignment workshop covers interview/intake techniques, client care, assessment techniques, draping techniques, professional conduct, contraindications, post-treatment protocol, and more.
- This workshop consists of lecture, and hands-on work.
- During the workshop, you will be exposed to actual clients, who may have trigger point issues. You will demonstrate your ability to obtain pertinent information needed to effectively assess and treat these clients.
- You will also be required to complete 4 written tests. These tests will include questions on anatomy, trigger points, client issues, contraindications, and more. You must obtain a passing mark on all the tests, before you will receive your Certificate of Achievement.
