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.

The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is a modality that can be used by and profession that deals with biomechanical dysfunctions of the muscular system. When it comes to this type of trauma, all muscles respond the exact same way. They contract. If the muscles are contracted, the individual loses not only range of motion, but also muscle strength. The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is to learn how to treat muscles using their plane of action. This course teaches how to merge passive range of motion with other muscle release techniques, allowing relief from pain through the elongation of the muscle fibers. This technique helps in breaking apart adhesion and scar tissue that limit muscle flexibility and length. By including ROM with treatment, you will be able to use less pressure and get the desired results.
We will be covering common muscular injuries such as Piriformis Syndrome, Psuedo Sciatica, Shin Splints, Plantar Fasciitis, among others.
This course will be 12 hours and cover two days.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please bring sheets and lotion to class.

Craig Knowles - Lymphatic Drainage Part 3 - Surgeries and Tools
2026-06-12 09:00 - 2026-06-13 17:00 | Gwinnett College – Lilburn, GA, 4230 Lawrenceville Hwy, Ste 11, Lilburn, GA, 30047, United States
Lymphatic Massage is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Lymphatic Massage is a very gentle manual treatment that is proven to reduce swelling by dramatically enhancing the function of the lymphatic system. Lymphatic Massage is also known to improve the quality of sleep, decrease pain, calm the nervous system, and benefit the immune system. This technique will greatly benefit your clients who have:

soft-tissue injuries;
rheumatoid arthritis;
high stress levels/anxiety disorders;
fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue;
surgical trauma/edema;
migraine headaches;
cancer/oncology diagnosis;
sinus congestion or allergies;
mild, medically-uncomplicated lymphedema;
clients in hospice or palliative care;

Part 3:
takes the routines we learned in Part 2 and modifies them for specific ortho and cosmetic surgeries. You will also learn to techniques to treat scar tissue using scraping tools and cupping.
Lymphatic Certifications
After completing Part 1 and Part 2, practice, practice, practice. When you feel you are ready, retake PART 2. On Day one of the class there will be a chance to practice, to iron out any last kinks. On Day 2 when the full body practical is performed, you will be evaluated on the skills you perform. IF you show you are competent and safely applying all the techniques taught in Part 1 and Part 2, you will receive a Lymphatic Massage Certification. Attendance alone does not guarantee a Certification, you must demonstrate proper application of ALL techniques.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please bring sheets and lotion to class.

Carrie Taylor's Facial Fundamentals & HOPMNRS Approach to Assessment
2026-06-13 10:00 - 2026-06-14 18:00 | Gwinnett College – Roswell, GA, 1455 Old Alabama Road Suite 160, Roswell, GA, 30076, United States
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.

Carrie Taylor's TMJ Dysfunction and TOS; Breast Fascia and Pectoral Girdle
2026-07-11 10:00 - 2026-07-12 18:00 | Gwinnett College – Roswell, GA, 1455 Old Alabama Road Suite 160, Roswell, GA, 30076, United States
Day 1:Fascial Fundamentals
This workshop will take therapists through a detailed HOPMNRS assessment of the TMJ and Cervical Spine, then progress into treatment ideas to release the TMJ/Thoracic Outlet and surrounding fascial tissues.
Focus will be on release of the Trapezius & SCM, which share the same fascial sheath, and how to differentiate this superficial layer from the deeper muscles of the cervical spine. How to use the ear, which connects directly to the TMJ, to facilitate opening of the joint indirectly, as well as direct treatment modalities to the temporomandibular joint itself will be shown, via soft tissue and joint mobilization techniques. Release of the sternal, clavipectoral, deltopectoral fascias, and the galea aponeurotica within the context of affecting the upper tracks of the deep front fascial line are valuable tools in resetting postural contributors to these disorders.
Mastoid, jugular foramen, and hyoid/throat modalities will also be shown, as well as direct treatment procedures for the temporalis, masseter, medial and lateral pterygoids. A cylindrical approach to treating the many compartments of the cervical spine comfortably will be the primary focus, as TMJ Disorder and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome are dramatically improved by postural balance in this region.
Pain-free intra-oral work using gloves, will round out the many treatment approaches taught during the class, as well as discussion of how to effectively work within the pain tolerance of the patient in this region.
Dealing with somato-emotional release will also be covered, to prepare the therapist for this potential when treating this disorder.
Day 2: Breast Fascia and Pectoral Girdle
This myofascial approach to treatment of the breast, pectoral girdle, and related tissues, will provide participants with the confidence to perform hands-on techniques in a sensitive, yet highly under-treated area. Learning to work on scar tissue, musculature, and fascia post-surgery, or following any other trauma, is an effective means to improve posture for the client. Improving the pliability and flexibility of scar tissue has also been shown to significantly decrease pain, especially in the neck and shoulder girdle. Work will be demonstrated draped, undraped, or through clothing/sheet to provide options for patient & therapist comfort.

2026-07-17 09:00 - 2026-07-18 17:00, 2026-09-11 09:00 - 2026-09-12 17:00 | Gwinnett College – Lilburn, GA, 4230 Lawrenceville Hwy, Ste 11, Lilburn, GA, 30047, United States
Lymphatic Massage is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Lymphatic Massage is a very gentle manual treatment that is proven to reduce swelling by dramatically enhancing the function of the lymphatic system. Lymphatic Massage is also known to improve the quality of sleep, decrease pain, calm the nervous system, and benefit the immune system. This technique will greatly benefit your clients who have:

soft-tissue injuries;
rheumatoid arthritis;
high stress levels/anxiety disorders;
fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue;
surgical trauma/edema;
migraine headaches;
cancer/oncology diagnosis;
sinus congestion or allergies;
mild, medically-uncomplicated lymphedema;
clients in hospice or palliative care;

Part 1 will:

Describe basic anatomy, physiology of the lymph system and main body fluids.
Explain the scientific principles behind Lymph Drainage Therapy, and why the lymphatic system plays a crucial role in recovering from disease and enhancing health.
Explain the importance of the lymphatic system and how it relates to blood and other body fluids.
Describe main indications and contraindications.
Perform techniques that help you move lymph and interstitial fluid through the body to cleanse it of toxins.
Describe the main specific locations of lymph nodes and lymph vessels.
Put treatments and self-help techniques right away into practice.

Lymphatic Certifications
After completing Part 1 and Part 2, practice, practice, practice. When you feel you are ready, retake PART 2. On Day one of the class there will be a chance to practice, to iron out any last kinks. On Day 2 when the full body practical is performed, you will be evaluated on the skills you perform. IF you show you are competent and safely applying all the techniques taught in Part 1 and Part 2, you will receive a Lymphatic Massage Certification. Attendance alone does not guarantee a Certification, you must demonstrate proper application of ALL techniques.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please bring sheets and lotion to class.

Craig Knowles: KMT - Upper Extremities
2026-07-31 09:00 - 2026-08-01 17:00, 2026-09-18 09:00 - 2026-09-19 17:00 | Gwinnett College – Lilburn, GA, 4230 Lawrenceville Hwy, Ste 11, Lilburn, GA, 30047, United States
The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is a modality that can be used by any profession that deals with biomechanical dysfunctions of the muscular system. When it comes to this type of trauma, all muscles respond the exact same way. They contract. If the muscles are contracted, the individual losses not only range of motion, but also muscle strength. The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is to learn how to treat muscles using their plane of action. This course teaches how to merge passive range of motion with other muscle release techniques, allowing relief from pain through the elongation of the muscle fibers. This technique helps in breaking apart adhesion and scar tissue that limit muscle flexibility and length. By including ROM with treatment, you will be able to use less pressure and get the desired results.
We will be covering common muscular injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Pronator Teres Syndrome, Adhesive Capsulitis, Golfer’s/Tennis Elbow, among others.
The Kinetic Musculorehab Technique Upper Extremities continuing education course is a 12-hour course and will be held over two days.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please bring sheets and lotion to class.

Carrie Taylor's Shoulder, Elbow, & Wrist Upper Extremity Approaches; Abdomen, Ribcage, Pelvis
2026-08-15 10:00 - 2026-08-16 18:00 | 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.

Arnold Askew - Understanding and Transforming Chronic Pain
2026-08-22 09:00 - 2026-08-23 17:00 | Gwinnett College – Roswell, GA, 1455 Old Alabama Road Suite 160, Roswell, GA, 30076, United States
Retraining Neural-Circuits & Neuromuscular Habits
Would you like your practice to be more “medical” based?
Would you like your practice to help transform people’s lives?
Would you like your practice to be easier on your body?
Some people get a massage because it “feels good.” Others come to “feel better.” Still others come because they want to be better. They want to improve. They want to get well. Helping clients get better and heal are the things that this class is about; learning the concepts and techniques to help people move from a life of pain to comfort, efficient movement, self-awareness, and autonomy. I invite you to join us in this training to become a professional in Understanding and Transforming Chronic Pain.
Learn the latest neuroscience about chronic pain and the conclusive evidence about which therapies prove most effective. Find how this information can clarify the difference in the “types” of chronic pain that people suffer from. Understanding this difference will determine how successful you are in assisting your clients in their recovery. With this new information we will build a practical model for identifying and treating the complexities of chronic pain. First, we’ll look at how to rewire the neuro-circuitry that causes chronic pain and then we’ll consider the role somatic education plays in changing inefficient patterns of dysfunction. Therapeutically we’ll use awareness-based touch and movement to awaken proprioceptive centers and stimulate new neurological activity.
Emphasis in this class will be placed on the kinetic chain of the spine, ribs, and extremities. We will explore how to palpate and assess the relative health of these complex relationships. We will also look at how the curves and spirals of the spine affect each other and how areas of dysfunction appear and feel. Strategies will be explored to assist easier, less encumbered movement throughout the length of the skeleton. A variety of injuries, pathologies and conditions will also be discussed. Lastly, we will look at how to bring our clients into a healthier relationship with their own healing. Our goal will be to help them become more autonomous and secure in living with whatever conditions may be a part of their lives.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please check the supplies list.

Carrie Taylor's Lumbosacral Hip Complex; Knee, Ankle, and Foot Lower Extremity Approaches
2026-09-12 10:00 - 2026-09-13 18:00 | Gwinnett College – Roswell, GA, 1455 Old Alabama Road Suite 160, Roswell, GA, 30076, United States
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 | Gwinnett College – Roswell, GA, 1455 Old Alabama Road Suite 160, Roswell, GA, 30076, United States
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.
