OVERVIEW of TMR 3

Course Outline:
Students will be able to incorporate the advanced TMR concepts into all pain relief approaches, athletic & fitness activities.  They will have a considerable practical application of handling both physical & emotional components of pain and imbalances.  The student will be able to control his or her environment as to get patients to respond with a high level of acceptance and doingness.  They will be able to validate their successes and statistically improve on areas that require additional attention both personally and with their patients. This seminar will delve deep into both the physical wellbeing and emotional wellbeing of the therapist and provide them a spiritual basis for which to heal themselves and their patients.


We cannot fix ones spirit, but we can show one they can find the cause within themselves, become more knowledgeable in repairing and taking control of their own journey so that they can rebuild and flourish within the spirit they thought they lost. This my friend is investing in your future for those you care for. Remain humble, give of the heart and you will be wealthier beyond your belief. The love that you share today will come back 10 fold and that is the most powerful wealth one can receive. Awareness of who you are and the steady progression to offering Unconditional Love for Yourself and others.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES - at the end of the course the student will be able to: 

  1. Demonstrate advanced understanding of how to find a motion to increase an Issue/Test in 95% of all patients
  2. Demonstrate how to take any motion into multiplanar motions for faster results
  3. Recognize when to use other advanced multiplanar body positions to speed results
  4. Recognize when a patient is unknowingly not telling the truth about their body limitations and how to increase their awareness that what they can do is more than what they cannot do
  5. Recognize how to progress a patient from basic TMR motions into advanced motions
  6. Demonstrate correct application of taking a patient from 1 D to 2 D to 3 D to limited flow to free flow to speed TMR with confidence.
  7. Create exercise programs that allow the patient to choose based upon results which type of exercises are best for their condition - injured side, both sides or non-injured side.  
  8. Demonstrate how to take the TMR concept into advanced fitness training and complex yoga moves
  9. Identify when a person is stuck in confusion and how to bring them out and up to willingly getting help
  10. Discuss with the most difficult patients and have them tell why they need to be compliant and committed to therapy.
  11. Discuss with the most difficult referral source or co-worker and have them justify why what we do makes sense.
  12. Defend the TMR concept using research that already exists in our profession, not by arguing, but by presenting articles for them to refer to.
  13. Formulate ways to take the TMR concept into any therapy that deals with motion.  Realize the potential of TMR throughout the healthcare industry.
