PRRT™ Level 1 & 2 Combined Seminar – Charlotte, NC (Sold Out | Waitlist Available)

May 15 - May 17

PRRT Level 1 & 2 Seminar

Stop guessing what to treat, learn how to identify and address the real driver of pain

In this hands-on Level 1 & 2 Intensive, you’ll learn a reflex-based system to rapidly identify and reduce protective patterns that keep pain stuck. Most clinicians see measurable changes in minutes, not weeks.

You’ll leave with a clear exam, a repeatable process, and techniques you can apply immediately in your practice.

Dates May 15–17
Daily Schedule 9am to 6pm
Location Charlotte, NC
Format Live instruction and hands-on labs



Instructors: Carl Christie, LMT, NMT & Benjamin Pero, PTA, LMT

Why PRRT™ works when other approaches stall

PRRT™ works directly with protective and primal reflexes that can keep pain active even after tissue has healed. Instead of chasing symptoms, you’ll learn how to quickly identify and reduce these reflexive patterns.

You’ll know within minutes if what you’re doing is working, and adjust in real time. Coached labs throughout the seminar ensure you leave with practical skill, not just theory.

What changes when you get back to your clinic

  • You’ll assess patients faster and with more clarity
  • You’ll know quickly whether a technique is helping or not
  • You’ll have a structured way to move from exam to treatment
  • You’ll stop guessing and start seeing immediate feedback from the body
  • You’ll build confidence using a system that works across multiple conditions

What you will learn

Level 1 | Foundations

  • Perform the One-Minute Nociceptive Exam™ (1MNE™) to scan 23 regions and pinpoint reflexive drivers of pain and restriction
  • Explain how nociceptive startle reflexes relate to common MSK presentations
  • Apply core PRRT™ maneuvers with correct intent and document findings using the PRRT™ assessment form

Level 2 | Intermediate

  • Perform the Two-Minute Nociceptive Exam™ to expand findings from Level 1
  • Demonstrate over two dozen intermediate techniques, including reciprocal inhibiting reflex strategies
  • Understand dura mater influences and when indirect muscle links matter clinically
  • Design patient-specific home programs that support your in-clinic work

Measurable outcomes

  • Run 1MNE™ at real speed and map findings to first-line techniques
  • Demonstrate correct form on multiple intermediate techniques and sequence them from the exam
  • Document before and after changes in range, pain report, or function
  • Build a simple home plan patients will actually do

FAQ

Will this fit my setting?
Yes. PRRT™ plugs into ortho PT, chiro, sports performance, and bodywork. Keep your favorite tools and add PRRT™ for faster decision making and better carryover.
How fast will I use this in clinic?
Most students use PRRT™ the very next shift. Expect immediate feedback on the table that guides your plan.
Is there a home program?
Yes. You will learn how to teach a short PRRT-informed routine that supports clinic results.
