This course addresses causes of pain and immobility in every part of the body in a very clear, precise way. Then gives several specific positions and techniques for addressing the underlying causes of the problems. A very useful course for any massage therapist wanting to better address the numerous and common aliments presented to them.
Peggy Anne Cambus Toulatos, LMT, NCTMB
The combined review of anatomy with theory and practice of massage with photos to demonstrate proper body mechanics is worth its weight in gold. Great review for someone like myself who has been practicing massage therapy for 20+ years. Enjoy the home study as can be done at your own pace and you have the book as a reference.
Breean Reyes, LMT
I have already started implementing the different techniques taught in the course to my client's great approval. The feedback I've been getting from my clients has been nothing but positive and I even had one client I see weekly say that it felt as though I had gotten through 6 months of tightness in one session that I had previously been unable to release! I couldn't be happier with the course and the book will be an invaluable piece of reference material for my business in the future. I can't wait to jump into more of the courses offered!
