2.5 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Dr. Jonathan Kuttner DPT
Elbow, wrist, forearm, and hand pain presentations are often more complex than they first appear, involving patterns of repetitive loading, muscular compensation, trigger point activity, and altered movement through the upper limb.
Treating Elbow, Wrist and Hand Pain — Trigger Point Therapy is a practical online course presented by Dr. Jonathan Kuttner DPT that explores upper limb pain through a clinically grounded trigger point therapy approach.
The course is designed to help practitioners understand not only how to identify and treat trigger points, but also how those trigger points relate to broader functional patterns involving grip mechanics, repetitive strain, wrist stabilization, posture, movement control, and load management.
Across this 2.5-hour CE/CPD course, Dr. Jonathan Kuttner explores trigger point therapy for elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand pain using a practical and functional clinical framework.
Participants will examine how trigger points may contribute to both local and referred symptoms, why upper limb pain often involves broader movement and loading patterns, and how repetitive use, gripping demand, wrist mechanics, shoulder control, and posture may influence ongoing dysfunction.
The course combines practical treatment demonstrations with anatomy, clinical reasoning, and companion learning material designed to support more thoughtful, adaptable, and function-oriented rehabilitation planning.
| Topic | Focus |
|---|---|
| Trigger Point Therapy | Understanding trigger point patterns and their relationship to elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand symptoms |
