This DVD will revolutionise the way medical practitioners approach chronic pain and injuries of the lower extremities. James formulates the 12 step protocols forming effective recipes for treatment of chronic pain & injuries: Assessment, Treatment & Rehabilitation. Frustrated by many different expert opinions on how to best treat complicated sports injuries, James found a way to blend as many disciplines as possible and build a great referral team of open minded medical experts that have the client's best interest in mind.  The orthopedic technique is an integration of sports massage, myofascial stretching, active isolated stretching, trigger points therapy, deep tissue massage, muscle energy techniques, and more.

This video addresses the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation to conditions: Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, anterior lateral shin splints, anterior compartment syndrome, and posterior medial shin splints. 

This video addresses rotator cuff injuries, such as subscapularis tendinitis, supraspinatus tendinitis, and infraspinatus and teres minor muscle-tendon pain. It also address bicipital tendinitis, medial epicondylitis or golfer's elbow, lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, neuromuscular pain, and muscle strains.

This DVD will show you functional assessment skills, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, cross-fibre and multidirectional friction, muscle energy technique, and neuromuscular re-education. It also shows you how to identify and re-program your clients subconscious limiting beliefs about chronic pain, and teach them to take responsibility of their specific conditions. 

This DVD shows you a unique multidisciplinary approach to the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of lower back pain, injuries to pelvis, quadriceps and hamstrings.

Learn how to address the balance of iliopsoas, quadratus lumborum, and the deep six hip rotators. Learn the relationship between quadriceps and hamstrings on pelvic imbalance and back pain. It also addresses patellar tendinitis, ITB friction syndrome, hamstring strains, and groin strains. 

Through collaborations with worldwide medical practitioners, and an intense self study of anatomy and pathology, James was able to discover the missing link for immediate release of complicated frozen shoulders. After being challenged with many clients with difficult frozen shoulders, James observed that at the articulating cartilage of ball and socket joints was a thick layer of fascia. Due to repetitive movements in the shoulder  joints certain muscle groups become strong and short while opposing muscle groups become overstretched and weak. This eventually leads not only to joint degeneration and resulting arthritis as the cartilage wears down, but also limits range of motion causing a formation of adhesions in the joint capsule itself. The articulating fascia acts as superglue and literally glues the humerus to the scapula. The deep fascial adhesions however can be melted, in almost a miraculous discovery James was able to use the head of the humerus in the shoulder to melt the fascia using very gentle movements. This technique has been able to release thousands of complicated frozen shoulders in literally one session.

This video addresses scalenes, pectoralis minor, subscapularis problems, and deep adhesions in the joint capsule. It also addresses emotional components of pain stored in the tissue and the psychological guarding patterns.

This DVD addresses complicated cervical conditions such as whiplash, and thoracic outlet. It shows you a unique technique of pelvic stabilization for lower back pain and sciatica. Emphasis is placed on structural integration, by releasing shortened muscle groups and strengthening weak and over-stretched opposing muscles, rather than simply rubbing on painful symptoms. See a unique frozen hip joints release using a novel plunging technique.

One of the leading causes of SI joint pain is because of adhesions in the ball and socket joint of the hip capsule. At about 10 degrees of hip extension the ilium is forced into flexion on the involved side because the femur is superglued into the socket. This puts stress on the SI joint and results in sprains and strains in that area. James' plunging technique in releasing the joint capsule will eliminate the underlying cause of the SI joint dysfunction immediately, and when the muscle groups around the hip are balanced back out the patient will remain pain free.

This DVD is based on creating structural balance throughout the body by focusing on muscle groups that shorten due to repetitive motions or prolonged poor posture. Too many people are stretching the wrong muscle groups. A specific stretching program can eliminate chronic pain and sports injuries and result. Specific conditions addressed in this DVD includes: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, medial shin splints, ITB friction syndrome, patellar tendinitis, tight hamstrings, lower back pain, sciatica, thoracic outlet, upper back pain, medial epicondylitis, lateral epicondilytis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and whiplash. Active assisted and contract-relax stretches are demonstrated, and isolated stretching for client self treatment.

James Waslaski, past chair of the AMTA National Sports Massage Education Council, is an author and international lecturer who has pioneered deep, pain-free orthopedic massage and sports injury treatments.  James  currently teaches seminars throughout the U.S., Canada, Ireland, Scotland, London, Costa Rica, Greece, and the Caribbean.

All seminars utilize his unique multidisciplinary approach, blended from disciplines around the world, resulting in structural integration, pain free movement and enhanced performance.  His credentials include working in emergency rooms and trauma centers for almost 20 years treating both medical and orthopedic conditions.  He has worked extensively with professional and Olympic athletes including the New York Yankees and at the 1996 Olympic Games.

James has presented at Chiropractic Conventions in Florida and North Carolina and to physicians at the American College of Sports Medicine.  He has also presented at many state, national and international massage conventions including a keynote speech in Sydney at the Olympic Training Center in Australia.  Many of his articles have been published in health care magazines in the U.S. and internationally.  In 1999 James received the International Achievement Award for educating medical practitioners worldwide toward integrated pain free healing.

 As a dedicated life long learner James has effectively integrated techniques from the world's leading:  structural body workers, physical therapists, orthopedic physicians, osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, nurses, athletic trainers, exercise physiologists, personal trainers and nutritionists to eliminate even the most complicated pain conditions and to assure peak performance.

"I found this video to be insightful, informative and interesting. It held my attention for the full hour and I have watched it several times. I found it quite helpful to learn easier ways to do some therapies that I use in my office. I would give this video a high rating for chiropractors; in fact, it is an essential piece of media for any practitioner who relies heavily on soft-tissue work." Rating: 9 out of 10.
