New Online Clinical Trigger Point Therapy Program Coming Soon!


        I wanted to update everyone on the status of our
60-hour Clinical Trigger Point Therapy Program. I am currently not teaching a program in the second half of 2010, as we are putting all our available time towards creating an online version of this program. Much of the content for this new program (Clinical Trigger Point Therapy Program 2.0) has been completed, and we are in the process of making it available online for healthcare practitioners worldwide. 

       We decided to reorganize the program and take it online for a couple reasons:

  • First, and foremost, we want to make the invaluable work of Dr. Travell and Dr. Simons available to  everyone at any time, not just those therapists in our immediate vicinity. 
  • Second, we want to make this unique educational experience more affordable for healthcare practitioners. By taking the program online we will be able to significantly reduce our costs (rent, copying costs, etc) entailed in providing this program, and thus be able to pass on those savings to the program participants.
  • Third, we think the videos and other materials provided in the online program will serve as an excellent ongoing clinical reference for those practicing Trigger Point Therapy. The instruction in this online program is very detailed and has been organized in a manner to make it easy to review the techniques and protocols taught.
  • Lastly, we wanted to take this opportunity to improve the Clinical Program itself. We have learned a great deal in both practicing and teaching Clinical Trigger Point Therapy over the last few years, and we finally got a chance to update and improve the program. Additionally, the way that we have designed the new program will make it much easier to update it in the future.

      I will still teach classes in Clinical Trigger Point Therapy, but these classes will be an adjunct to the online program. To be certified by us in Clinical Trigger Point Therapy you will still be required to participate in hands-on instruction and testing, but the amount of hands-on classes required will be reduced to just those classes that teach physical skills. This new format will also allow us to provide hands-on classes on the weekends, making it easier for people to attend these classes from around the country. We may even take our classes "on the road" to location near you in the future.

We hope that this new online program will be a "win-win" for everybody involved, and provide the flexibility needed to expand the practice of Trigger Point Therapy to everyone that needs it.

Stay tuned to the new blog for more updates on this program in the Fall.

Thank you for your interest,
Dr. Laura Perry
