Your Changing Learning Objectives
Evolving your practice
Many massage therapists start using deep tissue, sports, or relaxation treatments after graduating from their massage therapy program. After a period of time practicing we look for ways to improve the treatment results that benefit our clients. Increasing range of motion, function and pain relief is what usually motivates the person to see you.
We sometimes want to learn new massage techniques for the patients and sometimes we need to reinvent ourselves because of our own needs. Massage therapy is a physically demanding profession and learning to protect yourself from injury, fatigue and burnout is a priority. If you are not healthy then you are no good to your clients.
When you use gentle techniques which are effective for the client you also get the benefits of decreased stress on your systems. You will be practicing massage therapy with more comfort, getting better results and you may even find your practice growing.

Fascial Facet Treatment:
Two Massage Techniques for Somatic Dysfunction
Many Massage Therapists refer their clients to have chiropractic adjustments when they can get the knowledge and be trained to assess and treat somatic dysfunction themselves. We use the term somatic dysfunction instead of a facet or chiropractic lesion because we are influencing all the tissue in the area.
Just like the muscle energy technique for the spine, we are making changes to more than the facet joints, such as the soft tissue, nerves, fascia and lymphatics. These subtle methods are suitable for the most sensitive of clients.
Practitioners such as osteopaths, utilize high-velocity adjustments 20% of the time and MET 80% to adjust the spine. The peri-ischial and auricular techniques taught in this course will also be included in the 80%. Wouldn't it be nice to combine treatments in your clinic to get the best treatment results instead of sending your patients away?

Sacral Balancing:
A Key Part of the Pelvis
