STUDENT REVIEWS

Student Reviews & Testimonials

How did this webinar compare to other continuing ed classes you have taken?

“One of the best continuing ed classes I’ve ever taken in the last 15 years.”

“I thought this was the best massage continuing ed class I have taken so far and would definitely take another class from Cathy and recommend it to other therapists I know. I appreciated that she gave individual feedback to people, and obviously was excited and interested in the material she was teaching. “

“This class was very convenient having over Zoom. I did not have to travel, get a hotel, haul around supplies. I absolutely loved the convenience & felt like I learned just as much as attending in person. Thank you!”

 

“This was a better and more meaningful experience than some of the other continuing education classes that I have taken. Very happy that I chose to continue my education with Cathy. This class gave me useful skills and knowledge that I can use now.”

 

“One of the most informative, by far. I was able to see the applications of the techniques better than in a live class, where everyone is standing around a table trying to get a better view.”

“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.”

“One of the most easy to understand and to the point.”

“Great directions, informative research/case studies, good product suggestions, mostly I appreciated Cathy taking time to correct us.”

“Improving my ability to assess is a huge thing. Now I don’t waste all my time. It’s not exciting for me to do relaxation work anymore. I call myself a myofascial trigger point therapist and am attracting people who want to get better and then just do maintenance.

“In comparison to others, this class kept a very nice pace with a very attentive instructor!”

“I thought it was really cool how you showed us how to take care of ourselves along with taking care of others…And I really truly believe you have helped me become a better therapist… I will be taking more courses and I know I will continue learning from you…

“The convenience of taking the class from home and receiving hands on credits puts it above most if not all continuing ed classes I’ve taken…..Thank You.”

“At first, I was afraid to deviate from my basic routine, but now I use these techniques in every session. As I see the positive results achieved by using trigger point and myofascial techniques, I am eager to continue on this path. I am a better and more confident therapist. Cathy’s teaching style always encourages students to think, to question, and speculate. Her enthusiasm is contagious.”

“This course helped better tie foot health together with issues all the way through the kinetic chain. The resources provided, techniques learned, and protocols all fit nicely into my current routine, and should help me to provide a better offering for my clients.”

“The approach to addressing issues from the ground up. My partner and I both commented to each other that the information provided us with a new set of eyes when looking at working these areas.”

“My second course with Cathy, and I just love the way that the material is presented and taught. Cannot recommend enough.”

“Your course’s system is probably the most helpful thing that I have learned as a massage therapist. The classes have given me the knowledge to go out and help my patients with pain complaints. All the posture work we do has been an enormous help.”

”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!”

“Cathy’s classes are incomparable to other classes I’ve taken. She is top notch!”

I like the way you teach us how to work better so we’re not harming ourselves while helping other people. That’s very important to me because I’m older and I’m going to have less time or be less able to recover from an injury than a younger person would.

“I like how much experience Cathy has and shares that is very valuable.”

“Thanks again for the great workshop. I wanted to tell you that to my sheer joy (!!!) my sciatica and lower back pain completely went away and has been holding since our class! You know I had back surgery and have had sciatica type symptoms and the feeling of a “bag of rocks” on the lower back for a long time now. The treatments we learned on each other really helped me immensely and I cannot wait to help others.”

“One of the best. I think the presentation, production, and attention to detail were excellent.”

“This was my first time taking an online webinar class. I felt it was possibly even better than in person. Very clear instructions.”

“I have taken all of the Beyond Trigger Points courses with Cathy Cohen. They have been the best tool I have ever learned for my practice. When people come in with different pains in parts of their body, to be able to really target where to work to get rid of their pain has just been a blessing in my practice.”

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 video self-help therapy program for resolving carpal tunnel pain problems that has helped clients (including many massage and body work therapists!) to systematically heal 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

The Going Beyond Trigger Points Seminars format provides three-courses-in-one:

  1. Students get hands-on training in Trigger Point Therapy with abundant individual attention.
  2. Students receive thorough training and practice in essential Therapist Self-Care protocols.
  3. After the webinar, students receive a four week Follow-Up & Enrichment Program including review videos of the techniques and routines for each webinar to ensure retention and integration of the new knowledge and skills.

With 30 years experience teaching and motivating patients and students in clinical, classroom and online settings, Cathy is deeply dedicated to helping people improve the quality of their lives, and to assisting therapists in caring for their own bodies as they treat others.

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:

  1. Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy to relieve pain caused by myofascial trigger points.
  2. Advanced myofascial therapeutic massage techniques, such as cross-fiber friction, longitudinal stripping, myofascial spreading, and cyro-stimulated pain-free stretching.
  3. 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
  4. 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.”
