Our next very popular Bodywork Therapist program begins July 11th, 2008 and offers students already holding their basic Swedish certification a way to reach that higher level. Basic competency blooms into professional proficiency through deeper study of subjects introduced in the basic programs. Instruction in techniques frequently required of today's massage professional broadens the range of skills and heightens the practitioner's ability to adapt to suit a clients needs and requests. This information packed 201 hour program includes:
Deep Tissue Massage I & II: Beginning
with crucial client-assessment skills, range-of-motion work, and the
correct use of knuckles, forearms and elbows, this class addresses
appropriate application of deep-tissue work throughout the body. The
material presented is designed to be incorporated immediately in a
full-body massage, allowing students to work deeply, safely, and with
ease. Trigger Point Therapy: This section will provide an in-depth study of structural trigger points and their practical applications in bodywork. Students will learn release modalities which utilize structural trigger points designed to facilitate release of muscle groups while minimizing stress on the practitioner. Also included will be body assessment and curative modalities for common ailments and injuries.
Ortho-Bionomy©: Ortho-Bionomy is a unique body therapy, using gentle and comfortable positioning of the clients body to facilitate the release of pain and tension. Ortho-Bionomy is incredibly effective for those “hard-to-release” places in the body. Ortho-Bionomy is completely painless for the client. It deeply integrates the mind/body connections. Fun and easy to learn, Ortho-Bionomy has wide practical application and can be used with any client.
Anatomy: The anatomy portion of our advanced course brings the student into the world of anatomical relationships. You will touch, palpate, feel and study how the body fluidly moves. This material delves into the structural function of the body; bones, joints and muscles and how they interrelate. You will have the opportunity to integrate this deeper understanding of anatomy into hands-on bodywork techniques and case studies.
Common Injuries: This class will cover major injuries encountered in a massage practice, offering soft tissue strategies and rehabilitation suggestions. Main areas of injury to be covered include: ankle, knee, hamstrings, rotator cuff, tennis elbow, and over-use of the wrist. In addition to treatment plans, we will cover contraindications for massage, and exercises for flexibility and strength.
Subtle Modalities "An
Introduction to Cranial Sacral":
The totality of the human
being exists on many levels simultaneously: physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual. Conventional massage training primarily addresses the
physical dimensions, the body we can touch. This two day experiential
portion of the course is designed to take the therapist into the unseen
world of the subtle body. The anatomy of the human energy field will be
introduced from a variety of perspectives and techniques. The
practitioner will learn to find and work with the various pulses of the
body, to cultivate inner stillness of presence, and will be introduced to
the chakra system and to various systems of energy healing.
