Class Description:
This course is designed to help manual therapists gain a greater understanding into the most up-to-date research around fascia, pain, touch stimulus, and how these concepts interact with the brain. We delve into the idea of neuroplasticity and how it is that manual therapists can take advantage of this connection to help re-educate the bodies movement and pain patterns.  We explore the relationship that these systems have with both hyper and hypotonicity  as well as how neuroplasticity can be be integrated into treatment for all ages.
Massage tables are available at the facility if you wish to use them.   Please bring your own bolsters (or pillow) for foot/leg support should you need it. Each person should bring table linens and your own  cream or oil.

Please plan to arrive 15 minutes the first day.

Due to room space, this class will be limited to 24 ppl.

Certification  Description:

With The Body Journey Massage Experience®, you’ll learn how to create an immersive auditory and kin-esthetic transformational massage for your clients each time. You’ll be taught how to seamlessly blend sound and energy work with the sacred art of touch into a masterpiece that takes people on a deep inward journey. Discover how massage can transcend mere muscle manipulation, helping to transport individuals into a state of mental relaxation. When the mind lets go, the chi in the body can flow. When the chi flows, all of the systems in the body function better which leaves the client feeling more fully alive!

Components:
Advanced Massage Techniques that Weave Eastern and Western Modalities Together for an Optimum Client Experience
Gain experience combining Eastern and Western modalities to provide long-lasting pain relief while creating an extraordinary client experience. Students will receive training in the Chinese meridian system, potent acupressure points, reflexology, and how to apply dynamic over and under enveloping strokes that clear blocks in the meridians, allowing the client’s chi to flow from head to toe.

The Completion Technique
Most therapists release their touch before reaching the fingers and toes. Yet, the extremities are where the Chinese meridians end, and the energy body extends even further. 
By employing the Completion Technique to guide the chi all the way out, therapists can enhance their treatment’s effectiveness and lasting impact. This intentional approach feels exceptionally nurturing and communicates a sense of added care to the client.

Adding Sound to your Session, Simple Toning Techniques and Effective Places to Tone into the Body
In this class, you will learn about an effective method for removing blocks in the body’s meridians: the use of sound. Sound therapy works with the watery parts of the body, vibrating and releasing tension patterns, thus opening the flow of chi. This can leave the recipient with a light and uplifted feeling. You will be taught specific areas of the body where you can apply sound using polyphonic overtones and a variety of instruments.

As this is hands on, please bring your own massage table, bolsters (or pillow) for foot/leg support should you need it. Each person should bring table linens and your own  cream or oil.

Please plan to arrive 15 minutes the first day to register and set up
