Carrie Taylor's Shoulder, Elbow, & Wrist Upper Extremity Approaches; Abdomen, Ribcage, Pelvis
2026-08-15 10:00 - 2026-08-16 18:00 UTC | Gwinnett College – Roswell, GA, 1455 Old Alabama Road Suite 160, Roswell, GA, 30076, United States
Day 1:Shoulder, Elbow, and Wrist – Upper Extremity Approaches
This workshop covers Myofascial assessment of the shoulder, elbow and wrist as it applies to formulating effective treatment goals for a variety of disorders in the region, such as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Adhesive Capsulitis/”frozen shoulder”, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, DeQuervain’s Tenosynovitis, “Blackberry thumb”, Shoulder tendinosis, etc. Participants will be shown how to release clavipectoral, deltopectoral, platysmal, sternal, cubital, flexor & extensor superficial fascias, before deeper structures are addressed.
Scapular mobilization supine and prone will be demonstrated, with specific releases to all muscles & fascial tissues involved in upper extremity dysfunction. Clavicle mobilization and abdominal head of pec major release round out the shoulder approaches. In addition, joint mobilizations and osseous techniques are shown for the clavicle, scapula, and upper extremity joints.
Treatment of the elbow and wrist, with focus on decompressing the radius & ulna from the humerus, decompressing the Carpal Tunnel, as well as mobilizing the carpals & phalanges, can improve & prevent many of the above disorders.
Day 2: Abdomen, Ribcage, and Pelvis
This course will remove any discomfort felt by therapists when
working on the Abdomen, Ribcage & Pelvis, by combining in depth assessment approaches with effective myofascial release techniques. Therapists will spend time doing direct techniques, such as release of the abdominal/peritoneal fascia, and iliac/inguinal fascia, as well as indirect techniques, such as release of groin/pubic fascias. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) will be employed, along with passive stretching with traction (limb unwinding), to perform the indirect techniques. Once learned, PNF and limb unwinding can be applied anywhere in the body. Patients will experience improved digestion from the abdominal work, improved breathing from the ribcage/diaphragm work, and better flexibility in the back and hips from the pelvic work. Decreased back, shoulder, and neck pain can be expected from all of the modalities used.

Carrie Taylor's Lumbosacral Hip Complex; Knee, Ankle, and Foot Lower Extremity Approaches
2026-09-12 10:00 - 2026-09-13 18:00
Day 1:Lumbosacral Hip Complex
This workshop will provide therapists with a new approach to effectively treating & preventing Lumbrosacral-Hip Complex pain. Therapists will review myofascial assessment by discussing intake information, as well as using observation, movement, palpation, neurological assessment, referral pain and special tests to translate a patient’s clinical info into an effective treatment plan.
The majority of time is spent in hands-on practice of techniques for direct and indirect treatment of the lumbar spine, ribcage, pelvis, lower and upper extremities, as they all relate to back and hip pain. Supine and prone lower and upper extremity stretch protocols are shown, as well as how to apply proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation if necessary. In addition, very specific lumbar/trunk, hip/thigh, and ilial/ischial release techniques will be highlighted.
Day 2: Knee, Ankle, and Foot Lower Extremity Approaches
This workshop will provide therapists with different Myofascial approaches to effectively treat & prevent Knee, Ankle & Foot pain. Therapists will briefly review Myofascial assessment, by looking at ways to take a client’s intake information, and translate it into an effective treatment plan. The majority of time is spent in hands-on practice of techniques for direct and indirect treatment of the lower extremity (a great continuation of the Lumbrosacral Hip workshop).
Myofascial treatment & joint mobilization of the lower extremity is a necessary therapeutic approach to address sacroiliac dysfunction, back, hip, knee, & ankle pain.
Treatment techniques for the lateral, anterior, and “back” fascial lines are shown, with very specific direction in effectively accessing the gastrocnemius-soleus complex and Achilles’ tendon. In addition, approaches to treating the Crural, Hamstrings, Patellar Fascias, & Fascia Lata of the thigh are shown. Superior & inferior knee joint release, plantar fascial treatment, joint mobilizations/osseous techniques for the lower extremity, and correcting pes cavus/planus round out the list of topics covered.

Carrie Taylor's Whiplash and Cervical Disc Herniations // Lumbar Disc Herniations and Sciatica
2026-09-19 10:00 - 2026-09-20 18:00
Day 1: Whiplash and Cervical Disc Herniations
This workshop is an in depth look at disorders that develop as a result of whiplash injuries, particularly as they apply to cervical hyperlordosis or kyphosis, two very different but common presentations post injury.
Therapists will review the muscles, bones, nerve plexi, and other connective tissuestructures involved in the anterior, lateral, and posterior cervical spine.
How to do a thorough assessment, and to then transcript that information into an effective treatment plan for the patient is emphasized.
Advanced treatment techniques for cervical disc herniations are demonstrated, with plenty of time to practice and gain master of this delicate region.
Day 2: Lumbar Disc Herniations and Sciatica
Lumbar Disc Herniations are becoming more and more common in our sedentary, office working culture. People are sitting for extended periods more than ever, and effectively reversing the position of the lumbar lordotic curve, which encourages discs to bulge posterolaterally. Coupled with lack of exercise and weakened core stabilization, True Sciatica symptoms result. This can cause everything from mild lower extremity weakness and instability, to severe debilitating lumbar and Sacro-Iliac joint pain, with accompanying nerve symptoms down the postero-lateral aspect of the thigh and leg.
The key to effective treatment for the patient, is teaching core stability exercises, and re-establishing a normal lumbar lordosis via pelvic repositioning (aka “the MacKenzie Technique” or yoga “cat/cow”).
Therapists will learn postural realignment techniques, and transversus abdominus activation exercises, that they can apply to patient treatment and home care. Specific “lordosis creating” manual techniques are emphasized & demonstrated, as well as pelvic bone realignment and balancing. SI Joint, sacrotuberous ligament, the often overlooked Quadratus Femoris muscle, and gluteal muscle focus, go a long way to accomplishing successful pain relief. With a lot of hands-on practice both giving and receiving from both class participants and from Carrie Taylor, therapists will feel more confident when confronted with this frustrating disorder in clinical settings.

Carrie Taylor - How To Give a Full Body Myofascial Session and Self Care Stretching and Strengthening for the Manual Therapists
2026-11-14 10:00 - 2026-11-15 18:00
Day 1 How to Give a Full Body Myofascial Treatment
This workshop combines many of the techniques learned in other Taylor myofascial workshops, to form a more generalized full body “protocol”.
A full sequence of treatment ideas is shown starting in prone, with discussion on what to do if you find areas of concern/complaint that need more specific techniques applied (yet still be able to fit everything into one session).
The supine portion of the session starts on the lower body, and ends at the head & neck, once again addressing possible areas where some clients might need more specific work, but keeping the therapist focused on achieving a full body result in the time allotted.
Day 2: Self Care Stretching and Strengthening for the Manual Therapists
This workshop is designed to promote proper biomechanics to prevent injuries, while working as a manual therapist. Discussion and demonstration of the various hydrotherapy techniques learned while in massage school, is an important application of the knowledge required for Self Care and management of the various injuries that may occur during a manual therapy career. Demonstrations on correct table height and postural form/stance while giving treatment sessions is emphasized, in order to give therapists the basis for a long & pain free career. There will be coaching & practice on diaphragmatic breathing, using your core correctly while you work, as well as muscle strengthening exercises and stretches relevant to manual therapists. These principles can also help you coach your patients successfully in pain management, hydrotherapy guidelines, and stretching & strengthening.

Carrie Taylor's Facial Fundamentals & HOPMNRS Approach to Assessment
2026-12-12 10:00 - 2026-12-13 18:00
Day 1:Fascial Fundamentals
This workshop will give participants an introduction to the “Taylor Technique” style of myofascial assessment & treatment, and how to incorporate this work into their current practice. Specifically, strain/ counterstrain, using limbs as levers, pin & drag, skin rolling, pick up & roll are all shown in several areas of the body, focusing on palpation of superficial and deep layers of fascia, and differentiating between the two.
Learning about the elements of fascia and how to dialogue on this topic with prospective and current clients, will help participants incorporate this work into their current massage practice, while managing client expectations. Therapists will become proficient at using these techniques everywhere in the body, and the focused hands-on practice in palpation, is a skill that will be demonstrated throughout the seminar, in addition to body mechanics.
This class is the platform for the other 9 topics in the level 1 series, and gives the healthcare practitioner a firm foundation in applying palpative skill effectively. DVDs and downloads are available for all ten topics in this myofascial certification series, as well as ten level 2 DVDs and ten level 3 DVDs now available at www.taylortechniquesinc.com. Level 1 textbook is available in downloadable and hard copy formats on amazon/kindle!
Day 2: HOPMNRS Approach to Assessment
This course offers an in depth look at Assessment and Treatment from a myofascial perspective. Therapists will be taken through a very detailed process on how to approach assessing a client, from History/intake, to observation, movement and posture analysis, as well as palpation and neurological assessment, referral pain recognition, and special tests when needed. This approach is designed to increase the therapist’s confidence and expertise when assessing a client, giving them the necessary information to form a highly effective treatment plan.
