Kinetic Musculorehab technique is a blend of sports massage and medical massage that uses range of motion to treat common everyday dysfunctions. The basis of KM Technique is to learn to treat muscles in their plane of action. This course teaches how to merge passive range of motion with other massage techniques to increase their function and to relieve pain. KM Technique is also used to increase range of motion, break up adhesion and scar tissue that limit flexibility. In this course we will be discussing the treatment protocols for common muscular conditions such as Whiplash, Forward Head Posture, Military Neck, Tech Neck, Anterior Pelvic Tilt, Muscular Dysfuction from Chronic Respiratory Issues, among others.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please bring sheets and lotion to class.

Craig Knowles - Lymphatic Drainage Part 1 - Techniques
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.

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.

Craig Knowles: KMT - Upper Extremities
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 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.

Craig Knowles - Lymphatic Drainage Part 1 - Techniques
2026-10-30 09:00 - 2026-10-31 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.

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 | 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.
