    🩺 Workshop Overview:
    myoActivationER is a condensed adaptation of the myoActivation® methodology that has been developed to provide a rapid algorithmic approach to assessment and treatment of common clinical presentations of pain and movement impairments in the emergency department or in an urgent care clinic. Treatment entails low risk, non-pharmaceutical needle insertions into dysfunctional soft tissues and significantly reduces time to pain improvement allowing improved patient flow and patient. This workshop will focus on learning both rapid biomechanical assessment and hands-on treatment skills in paired practice exercises.
