This course is eligible for 4 RACE-approved continuing education (CE) credits.

Discover how to deliver more effective, non-invasive musculoskeletal care with this RACE-approved CE wet lab. This high-impact, hands-on session is designed to help you confidently treat a range of conditions using PiezoWave2T—one of the most precise and patient-friendly shockwave technologies available today.

You’ll work directly with real patients under expert guidance while learning how to tailor protocols for arthritis, cruciate issues, back pain, and more. With a 3:1 student-to-instructor ratio during the hands-on portion, you’ll receive individualized coaching to refine your technique and build confidence. Whether you're just exploring shockwave or already own a unit, you’ll leave with practical skills you can apply immediately.

Bonus Content: Palpation and Fascial Mapping
In addition to core shockwave techniques, this lab includes a focused session on palpation and fascial assessment. You’ll learn how to identify areas of restriction, tension, or trigger points that may benefit from targeted shockwave application. This section bridges the gap between clinical evaluation and therapeutic precision—helping you understand how fascia influences musculoskeletal pain patterns and how to use PiezoWave2T to address them effectively.
