CEU Massage Therapy Workshop Schedule 2010:

Massage therapy can be hard on your body. Over the last 15 years I have searched for and found a better way to work! Let me show you how to be highly effective without hurting yourself in the process!
Work smarter! Not harder!

European Kinetic Massage - a type of massage incorporating movement simultaneously with massage strokes for a more effective release of fascia and muscle tissue. These techniques, originating in Sweden and Germany, allow for relief of chronic muscular pain often with long term results. Deep tissue, myofascial therapy, connective tissue massage (sometimes called bindegewebs massage), direct pressure, muscle energy work, PNF, stretching and trigger point work are all utilized in this form of kinetic massage. I also teach postural assessment techniques in these seminars.

Problem Conditions I - Massage techniques for clients with symptoms of chronic neck and shoulder pain, rotator cuff pain, bicipital tendonitis, golfer's and tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, and thoracic outlet syndrome

Problem Conditions II - Massage techniques for clients with symptoms of Sciatica & Piriformis Syndrome, chronic low back and hip pain, S-I joint dysfunction, chronic knee pain, IT Band Friction Syndrome, achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and shin splints

Problem conditions I and II are designed to teach the massage therapist how to safely work on clients that have been diagnosed by a medical doctor. Massage therapists do not diagnose nor manipulate bones

Thai Yoga Bodywork: On the Table - an ancient healing massage with its roots from Thailand and India. Presented in a new and innovative way for today's massage therapist. Thai massage is one of the most effective ways of improving range of motion and reducing pain. This massage combines pressure point meridian work, highly effective myofascial stretching, powerful breathwork, and rhythmic, rocking deep tissue compressions to deliver an incredible sense of lightness and openness in the body. I have found that most massage therapists prefer to work on the massage table. Therefore, I have created a routine of Thai Massage designed for table work. I have not changed the traditional guidelines for delivering Thai massage. I've only made it more accessible for the average massage therapist to learn safely.

Connective Tissue Massage - The missing link in massage therapy! All structures in the body are surrounded by fascia, a connective tissue binding together the body's organs and systems. Connective tissue massage utilizes enhanced body mechanics using gravity to your advantage; and advanced deep tissue structural alignment techniques in combination with highly effective myofascial techniques to release restrictions in the fascial matrix to significantly improve posture/alignment of the body. By first preparing the tissue with myofascial techniques, we can then more effectively apply deeper muscle work with less discomfort - and less post treatment soreness to the client. I have also found the results are longer-lasting.

Sport Specific Massage - Tennis, Golf & Running - This workshop will focus on both the recreational athlete that most of us often work with on a day-to-day basis, and the professional athlete. In my experience from sports massage, there is big difference in working on professional athletes versus recreational athletes. The weekend warriors are usually not as technically polished or biomechanically sound as the professional athlete. Therefore, the stress points on their bodies are somewhat different. We will explore sport-specific massage in sports such as tennis, golf, and running. We will talk about common sport-specific injuries and how to prevent and apply massage techniques to each condition. I am talking about conditions that are diagnosed by a medial doctor, as it is outside the scope of practice of a massage therapists to diagnose.


Kinetic Deep tissue

In this seminar we will explore a combination of myofascial techniques and deep tissue strokes designed to free restrictions in fascia and muscles. We will learn postural assessment techniques that will help us in determining where to apply our massage techniques. We work with structural alignment techniques designed for the whole body not just chasing the pain or problem. We will use more than the traditional supine and prone positions for our client. We will also utilize the side and seated position for better leverage in our work. This is a seminar for the massage therapist that want to learn how to safely work deeper without hurting herself/himself in the process, and still achieve great results for the client. Work smarter! Not Harder!
