Whether you’re seeking to improve outcomes for clients with chronic pain, mobility restrictions, or soft tissue dysfunction, this course equips you with proven methods to confidently assess and treat neuromusculoskeletal issues.

• Movement-Based Manual Therapy
• Passive AMT Techniques
• Active AMT Techniques
• Myofascial Cupping Integration
• Soft Tissue Mobilization Science
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Anatomy and Kinesiology Refresher

Why Take This Course?
AMT bridges the gap between traditional soft tissue release and functional rehabilitation. You’ll gain hands-on experience applying manual therapy in a dynamic, client-involved setting.

Techniques taught in AMT are intended to:

• Increase functional range of motion
• Reduce trigger point pain and perceived stiffness
• Improve neuromuscular communication

These techniques can be integrated before rehabilitation exercises to optimize motor output and prevent future dysfunction.
