Beginning Shiatsu introduces participants to this Japanese type of bodywork which is based on the same principles as is acupuncture.  

Participants learn the theory behind shiatsu including basic traditional Chinese medicine concepts such as Qi (the body’s energy), the streams the Qi flows through in the body called channels (meridians), and how the disruption of Qi flow can result in pain, discomfort or other disorders.  

The goal of shiatsu is to help rebalance the client’s energy and alleviate discomfort.  Participants will learn beginning shiatsu techniques such as palming, pressure applied with the fingers, thumbs, forearms, elbows, knees and feet, stretches and range of motion movements, and how these can help rebalance clients’ Qi. Shiatsu is traditionally performed on fully-clothed clients lying on a futon on the floor, and no lubricants are used.

Participants should note that Beginning Shiatsu will be open to teaching the traditional manner (futons on the floor) and also modified treatments on the table. Tables & futons will be provided by Cortiva.  

Prerequisites: This course is open to all LMTs, bodyworkers, and other health care practitioners interested in learning more on the topic.

Please bring: A final confirmation letter with instructions will be emailed approximately one week prior to class.

Advanced Corrective Therapies:  Kinesiology animation presentations will expand the therapist’s knowledge of muscle fiber direction and agonist/antagonist relationships as they pertain to specific actions.  These visual aids are used to assist in hands on isolation techniques for superficial and deep muscles. Once isolated, our focus shifts to layering corrective techniques. These techniques include site-specific deep transverse friction, displacement, stripping and compression. This course is design to create an insatiable quest for results as therapists navigate through isolated tissue on a journey to release adherent muscle fibers, reduce pain and increase range of motion by reducing restriction. You will be amazed how refined your palpation skills will become when you change direction.

This is a “Hands-On” course designed for massage therapists working in both private and medical practices as well as spa settings.  A cross fiber friction massage facilitates the bodies healing processes allowing the body to repair soft tissue damage, release adhesions, lessen acute or chronic pain and reduce the recurrence of chronic pain syndromes. Utilizing Cross Fiber Friction Principles and Advanced Corrective Therapies, participants will learn to therapeutically assist their clients to reduce pain, increase range of motion and maintain an efficiently functioning musculoskeletal system.

Prerequisites:  This course is open to massage therapists and other healthcare practitioners who wish to learn more on the topic.

Professional Ethics for Bodyworkers

6 CE contact hours / NCBTMB approved
Subject: Sports Therapy

In the rapidly expanding field of massage therapy, concerns regarding ethical behavior and practice are also on the rise. Given the intimate setting of bodywork, it is crucial to establish a safe environment and a clear understanding between client and therapist as to what is expected. Therapists must also be able to effectively communicate within the parameters of each individual's unique personality, including their own.

The intent of this workshop is to define the broad scope of ethics, empower each therapist with their own personal Code of Ethics, and explore possible ethical situations which will challenge participants to make good decisions as to how they respond.

Prerequisites:
Class is open to all message therapy students and LMTs.

Please Bring:
Writing utensil, paper.
