PFRIMMER DEEP MUSCLE THERAPY® 

Level 1 Classes 2009 - 2010

If you have clients that need more help than you can offer with your current skills, Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy® is a technique that will equip you. Pfrimmer Therapy® is a comprehensive corrective bodywork system that hones the therapist's palpation skills, and enables them to address every muscle in a sequence that utilizes the lymphatic and circulatory systems to make corrections on a cellular level.  It consists of an extremely effective systematic approach to the whole body using a specific series of cross fiber strokes.  Pfrimmer is a type of myofascial release, which should be the foundation for all corrective bodywork.  A trained Pfrimmer therapist has the acquired skills and knowledge to address any given pathology.  The study of Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy® guarantees a successful practice for a massage and bodywork professional that recognizes the benefit of providing pain relief for their clients.  For more info on Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy see www.pfrimmerinstitute.com.

The Fall Level I Registration starts now at Austin Community College (ACC) and classes will begin on August 20, 2009.   Class size is limited and classes must be taken in sequence.  Traveling from the other end of the State? Let us know...we may be able to help you find accommodations.   Call Janine with questions!

Each 20-Hour Weekend course is only $525.00 per session in Texas (plus $13.00 ACC insurance fee).  Texas needs massage therapists that are trained in medical massage!  There are NO Pfrimmer Therapists in the  South Texas, Dallas or Houston areas and we receive calls for referrals all the time.
