Reviews from therapists about the BeyondTriggerPoints Webinars: 4.65 out of 5
“This seminar is one of the best seminars I have taken. I felt like the content and instruction were fantastic.
I wasn’t sure how effective the web live format would be, but I feel that in some ways it was better than a live class.
I felt like I was better able to see and hear the entire class than in a live session.
It also seemed to me that it was easier for the instructor to view each student and their work.”
“This was my 1st webinar and I truly enjoyed it — I felt as if I was in a hands-on seminar!”
“I believe the content and flow of material was perfect for a live webinar. The demo videos were well done and I especially thought Cathy was amazing.”
“So convenient and cost-effective! I’ve had to travel over two hours for CEU’s because of a huge lack of hands-on classes being held in my area, and have paid twice as much, plus the cost of gas and hotels!”

What are the unique features & benefits of the
Going Beyond Trigger Points Connect The Dots System SM ?
The Going Beyond Trigger Points Connect The Dots System is an advanced continuing education program for Massage Therapists.
It teaches a comprehensive pain therapy system that Massage Therapists can apply in their daily practice. It integrates the work of Dr. Janet Travell, the originator of myofascial trigger point therapy, into a highly accessible system that Massage Therapists can easily apply to resolve their clients’ pain conditions.
Going Beyond Trigger Points Connect The Dots System integrates four essential bodies of therapeutic knowledge into one coordinated and easy to use system:
- Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy to relieve pain caused by myofascial trigger points.
- Advanced myofascial therapeutic massage techniques, such as cross-fiber friction, longitudinal stripping, myofascial spreading, and cyro-stimulated pain-free stretching.
- Neuromuscular re-education protocols to re-train dysfunctional muscular and fascial systems, based on a thorough assessment of the client’s condition, including related activating and perpetuating factors
- Structural Integration / Postural Realignment / Kinesiological Therapies to restore overall healthy posture and structural balance
Some form of myofascial therapy, and even a superficial introduction to trigger points, is often included in the basic curriculum at many massage schools. However, the breadth and depth of knowledge of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy is rich and vast. It requires time, dedication, and a desire to go beyond routine massage sessions to provide genuine lasting pain relief.
Cathy Cohen, LMT, the developer of the Going Beyond Trigger Points Connect The Dots SystemSM received extensive training in Trigger Point therapy – over 1,000 hours simply to be qualified as an entrylevel Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist.
Cathy’s’ graduate studies included personal mentoring by Dr. Travell, certification as a CORE Structural Integration Therapist from George Kousaleos, and advanced training in Myofascial Release from John Barnes.
“Going Beyond Trigger Points is truly a graduate-level program. After I mastered the complex technical knowledge of trigger points, I had to find my own path to incorporating this into a do- able therapeutic massage session.”
“Out of that experience I developed my Going Beyond Trigger Points Connect The Dots System so that other massage therapists could ‘fast-track’ into becoming qualified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists. By now, more than 2,600 therapists have taken my seminars and are successfully treating their clients using these techniques.”

About Cathy Cohen, LMTApproved National CEU Educator

 |
Cathy Cohen, LMT is a National and Florida approved CEU Provider and Board Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist. She provides live and online massage-therapy continuing education for massage therapists. Her students include many who are new to Trigger Point Therapy, as well as experienced Trigger Point Therapists who seek out her advanced knowledge and coaching.
Cathy has practiced myofascial therapies since the 1980s and has been teaching for over 20 years. She knows how frustrated both clients and therapists can become when dealing with muscular pain. Fortunately her background as a Trigger Point Myotherapist and Structural Integration therapist has equipped her with the confidence and skills to assess and treat myofascial pain syndromes.
Cathy’s deep insight into physical balance, structural alignment, and self-care comes through her own long experience in yoga and ballroom dance, as well as through her formal education as a biologist. Cathy trained with Dr. Janet Travell, the leading pioneer in myofascial pain syndromes and former White House Physician, and with Nancy Shaw and George Kousaleos (CORE Structural Integration).
In 2015 Cathy co-created an innovative online self-care video-coaching therapy program for addressing carpal tunnel conditions that has helped clients (including many massage and body work therapists!) to systematically resolve their hand and wrist issues.
In her practice and her teaching, Cathy specializes in resolving chronic musculoskeletal pain and structural alignment issues. Her leading-edge educational program, is a resource used by therapists and healthcare providers nationwide. Cathy has personally trained over 2,600 therapists in advanced Trigger Point Therapy protocols.
Cathy developed the in-depth Going Beyond Trigger Points Seminars to provide therapists with the best possible advanced training. The unique Connect the Dots System makes it easier for students to integrate and apply the breadth and depth of Travell and Simons’ Myofascial Trigger Point knowledge, supported by the postural restoration protocols of Structural Integration.
In addition to giving students a firm foundation in the essentials, she provides specialized advanced training for systematically identifying and addressing the postural and behavioral conditions that perpetuate clients’ postural dysfunctions and myofascial pain.
” I thoroughly enjoyed your workshop! The material was exactly what I was hoping for and beyond. The protocol to follow and the format was precise and informative. I feel I have real tools with a genuine understanding of why they work. Wonderful! It will literally change the way I work. I truly believe it is one of the most powerful and empowering approaches to healing and pain management… for client AND practitioner! Elle Harmon, LMT
