About Our Courses
Participants who learn the Whelton Methods® easy to implement systems will understand and become competent in treating root causes of the most common orthopedic conditions and how to implement simple protocols to achieve desired results.

In this educational session, Dr. Whelton will demonstrate how specific referral areas — such as one on the elbow — may be connected to regions like the medial knee. You'll see how the WheltonMRT® technique is used by clinicians to explore real-time responses in musculoskeletal pain patterns.
Simple and Effective
Whelton Myofascial Referral Technique® is based on Dr. Whelton’s clinical mapping of consistent, body-wide patterns in how certain areas of the body respond to specific types of pressure. The method maps potential connections between regions that may share functional or fascial relationships — offering clinicians a new lens through which to approach pain modulation and movement restoration.
"OFF SWITCHES" FOR PAIN
Points are engaged using specific patient positioning and precise angles of pressure as outlined by Dr. Whelton. These techniques are designed to support clinical strategies aimed at influencing pain perception and mobility patterns throughout the body. Many practitioners have reported notable patient responses when integrating these methods into their treatment approach.
