Designed for licensed practitioners, this course will provide a comprehensive overview of trigger point and motor point locations. Doron will also touch on principles of injection therapy as many of these points correspond to injectables regions of muscles and tendons. Choose between registering for 1 day (8 NCCAOM PDA), or both days (16 PDA). Register today! the class will be limited to only 20 registrants for each day. If a one day ticket is sold, that will shrink the number of 2 day tickets available, but will not change the number of tickets for the other day.  

The date above shows March 17th. What that means is that the first day of this two day event was held on March 3rd and it is no longer possible to register for 2 days or for the first day, and the second day will be on March 17th with registrations still open for that day.
