Healing Through Trigger Point Therapy

9 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Jonathan Kuttner, DPT

Trigger point therapy is about far more than applying pressure to painful areas. Effective treatment requires an understanding of pain referral, tissue adaptation, movement dysfunction, and the factors that allow symptoms to persist over time.

Healing Through Trigger Points is a comprehensive online course designed to help rehabilitation professionals develop a deeper understanding of trigger point therapy, myofascial pain, referred pain patterns, and chronic musculoskeletal dysfunction.

Presented by Jonathan Kuttner, DPT, this course combines trigger point anatomy video tutorials, a comprehensive workbook, and a structured Clinical Companion Course to create a practical learning pathway that connects theory, assessment, and clinical application.

Course Overview

Across this 9-hour CE/CPD course, participants will explore the mechanisms behind trigger point formation, referred pain patterns, fascial relationships, movement compensation strategies, and the perpetuating factors that contribute to persistent symptoms.

Rather than focusing solely on treatment techniques, the course examines the broader clinical picture surrounding trigger point therapy, helping practitioners understand why symptoms develop, why they recur, and how trigger points interact with movement, posture, fascia, and nervous system sensitization.

Participants will develop a stronger understanding of how trigger point therapy can be integrated into modern rehabilitation and manual therapy practice while maintaining a focus on clinical reasoning and whole-person care.

Supported by video tutorials, a comprehensive workbook, a structured Clinical Companion Course, lesson quizzes, final examination, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a thorough foundation in trigger point therapy and myofascial pain management.
