Description

Approaching the Upper Body from All Angles - 4 CE Hours

(Approved as relevant to and focus on massage therapy techniques - LIVE hours)

This course challenges us to see the client's body in all its dimensions, and all its actual complexity, and offers ways of working - namely, by focusing on the lateral aspects of the musculature - that is often unfamiliar for both therapist and client alike. The result is that participants learn new techniques and new ways of tackling those common problems that don't seem to be responding to our typical work.

In this course students will:

• Review the muscles located on or around the lateral aspect of the upper body, from the quadratus lumborum to the scalenes and the ways they can contribute to some of the typical complaints of upper body stress and tension and dysfunction.
• Practice specific techniques to engage these lateral structures from uncommon angles and with uncommon approaches.

Approaching the Lower Body from All Angles - 4 CE Hours

(Approved as relevant to and focus on massage therapy techniques - LIVE hours)

Let's be honest:

• Do you rush through the lower body to get to your clients' "real" problems (which always seem to be in the upper body)?
• Do you find yourself running out of techniques when a client actually wants you to pay attention to their legs?
• Are you just bored of your routine?

Learn a fresh approach to the major muscles groups of the legs and hips, and effectively ground your clients' in their body as a whole, so you can say goodbye to monotonous techniques and HELLO to new ways of structuring your sessions, revitalized lower body skills, and client's that say WOW.

Working the Rib Cage - 4 CE Hours

(Approved as relevant to and focus on massage therapy techniques - LIVE hours)

As massage therapists, we spend a lot of time working on our clients' backs. And yet because we are so focused on all the big, beautiful muscles that spread across the back, we often forget what is underneath - the ribs. These small bones, and the even smaller muscles that run in between them, are essential to nearly everything we do each day. They protect and support every breath we take, and they provide the foundation that enables every movement we make with our arms and our head. This is a neglected part of the body. It shouldn't be.

In this course students will:

• Practice clear and effective draping to expose the rib cage while keeping breast tissue covered, when the client is in supine.
• Demonstrate clear communication with the client both before and during work on the rib cage.
• Observe and apply techniques in both prone and supine.
• Practice contacting this sensitive area both with confidence and ease.

Ethics: Boundaries & Time Management -1 CE Hour

We try our best to satisfy our client's needs, sometimes without realizing the toll it is taking on us. Do you have a few client's that you feel you've given too much time and are struggling in trying to figure out how to reel it back in?

Through this video-based course you will:

• Recognize the feelings of boundary crossing to begin to understand when "hazy" time boundaries become uncomfortable.
• Identify how to reorganize your massage appointments and how to get your boundaries back in line with appropriately scheduled appointment lengths.
• Discover how to talk with clients about appointment lengths to re-establish the boundaries of starting and ending massage within the agreed time frame.

In just one hour, you'll learn ways to be able to easily implement a healthy change in ethical behavior - boundary re-setting - improving your practice and professional relationships with your clients.

Ethics: Neutral Space, Client Care & Boundaries - 1 CE Hour

There may be times in your career that you encounter clients that are in need of extra support. You may even find yourself trying too hard to provide that support. Instead, learn skills that will allow you to regain and maintain healthy boundaries between you and your client.

• Observe the difference between trying too hard to help a client vs. how to offer your skills in a neutral and helpful way for their benefit.
• Learn to recognize your own behavior and be able to step back, observe, and regain healthy boundaries allowing the client to work through their own mental and emotional needs while still performing the massage.
• Know how to create a "neutral space" and how to "hold space" for a client in support of their emotional and physical needs.

By following the steps in this course you will be able to simply create a space for clients to feel supported and safe, with your demeanor and hands, providing a feeling of unconditional support to that person.
