CONTINUING EDUCATION CLASSES - Sports Massage

SPORTS MASSAGE - Upper Body Saturday 1/13/07
SPORTS MASSAGE - Lower Body Sunday 1/14/07

These two classes teach a system of bodywork that
requires minimum exertion on behalf of the therapist
with maximum results to the clients. Through soft
tissue release and deep tissue therapy, tense and
traumatized tissue will open, enabling full freedom of
movement without pain or restriction while speeding
damaged tissue's recovery. These methods can be
applied to both acute and chronic pain, as well as a
preventative and restorative therapy. Learn direct
manipulation techniques for neuromuscular injuries;
powerful techniques that effectively break down
adhesion and scar tissue; active and passive release
techniques for specific muscl, tendon, and ligament
injuries.

UPPER BODY CLASS: Covers specific techniques for back
pain; shoulder injuries; neck problems; hand, wrist,
and arm conditions.
