Both Classes Taught by: Michelle Burns, BSRN, RMT, MTI

Michelle Burns, BSRN, RMT, MTI, is a State of Texas approved CEU provider with
over 15
years of experience as a massage therapist and massage therapy instructor for a
wide
variety of subjects. She has also taught classes for the public at several
resort spas and
continuing education classes in touch and aromatherapy for nurses. Her
experience
includes supervising massage therapy instructors and teaching them the skills
they need
for the classroom. She also teaches advanced technique classes in a variety of
specialties.

Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy^® (PDMT) is a highly refined system of corrective treatment using a specific series of soft tissue movements designed to aid in the restoration of damaged muscles and the adjacent soft tissue in the entire body.  PDMT is a Medical Massage Technique which is the art and science of correcting damaged muscles, and serves as a foundation for other corrective bodywork.  Pfrimmer Therapy, which was developed by Thérèse C. Pfrimmer, a physiotherapist who reversed her own paralysis in the 1940’s, is well known in the Northeastern United States and Canada, but is fairly new to Texas.   

 LEVEL 1 is an advanced intensive which will provide the foundation for understanding and correcting muscle/soft tissue aberrations through palpation, conceptual theory, and specific, detailed, corrective cross fiber strokes for the whole body. The course covers theory, technique, practice, pathology, history, professionalism, contraindications, small business practices and ethics. (See individual class descriptions below)  Lecture, audiovisual aids, student notebook, charts and critical thinking discussions are utilized. Close individual guidance accompanies the 80-hour hands-on workshop. The certification program provides a full scope of learning to perform basic and advanced Pfrimmer corrective work. 

Prerequisite: Must be a Licensed Massage Therapist, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, R.N., M.D., or other medical professional.

Completion of the course qualifies graduates for NCTMB continuing education credits.  Austin Community College (ACC) will provide CE credit certificates following each 20-hour segment that satisfies TX Department of State Health Services CE requirements. 

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

P101 Weekend – Theory, History, Body Mechanics, Rationale of Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy  with Technique for Hands, Arms, Neck, Head and Face.

P102 Weekend - Neuromuscular Considerations of PDMT Corrective Work; Pfrimmer Troubleshooting Keys; Review of Nervous System, Plexus and Anatomy; Pathology Review of 50 Common Conditions treated by PDMT; and Technique for Chest, Abdomen, Back and Back of Neck. (Prerequisite: P101)

Sharon Puszko, Ph. D., C.M.T., Owner, Director, Dean of Continuing Ed., Instructor, Therapist

Day-Break Geriatric Massage Institute

Offices in Indiana, Florida, & California

The workshop will introduce the participant to the physiology and psychology of a long life and their effects on one's health. But it is not presented as a dry college type lecture; rather it is a practical and hands-on collaboration between instructor and participants. Come join us! nter

The Day-Break Geriatric Massage Institute's Level One Certification will be held February, 9^th, 10^th and  11th, 2007.The program will be presented by Sharon Puszko, Ph.D., C.M.T., who travels and lectures nationally to present this unique information designed to help people feel more comfortable about working with an aging population with techniques that improve quality of life and help to bring back lost abilities to those in need of skilled touch. This workshop is mostly designed to educate therapists to the needs of this special population, but is intended to educate anyone who wants to be comfortable hands-on with an elder in need. The weekend will finish with a hands-on clinic of volunteers (ages 55 and over) for participants to apply a variety of techniques in a very practical manner to become comfortable with this information and promptly put it to use.

 Level 1- Geriatric Massage Workshop

This 2 1/2 day weekend workshop is the basis for our training program in Geriatric Massage. It offers 17 CEU contact hours for Massage Therapists and qualifies for the Level 1 Certificate in Geriatric Massage. By helping participants to gain insight into meaningful work with the
elderly, the therapist who likes to work with seniors is put on the path to a massage career that is emotionally satisfying and financially promising without being physically draining.

THE WORKSHOP DEALS WITH THESE TOPICS:

1. Physiological, psychological & sociological aspects of aging. A brief introduction into the riddle of "aging".
2. Client assessment, cautions & contraindications. Psychological aspects of contact with the elderly, attention to detail in the assessment of the older client.
3. Modification of standard massage techniques and development of special methods to suit each client's special needs. Participants are encouraged to think independently in their first hands-on phase of the presentation.
4. Practical hands-on work with older people. It is impossible to understand the need for different approaches when working with the elderly unless it has been practiced on the real thing. Therefore, the last day of the workshop is spent working hands-on with elderly volunteers.
5. How to establish a Geriatric Massage practice - Assists in starting your geriatric massage practice.

The geriatric massage workshop is of special interest to the mature massage therapist and the advanced student, as well as nurses, nurse assistants, chiropractors, home health aids, physical therapists, occupational therapists and all other health care personnel that have been
or are presently working with the elderly.
We help participants lose their apprehension towards the elderly, the most underserved of any age group, so they can confidently solicit clients. Immediately following the workshop, one can begin to include the elderly among clientele. This greatly enhances earning potential. It is a fallacy to believe that work with the elderly has to be pro bono. The majority of the elderly are quite well off, willing and able to pay for services directed towards health improvement.

The DAYBREAK Geriatric Massage Workshop differs from most other massage workshops because it is not teaching only a particular technique, but how to combine what the participant knows already with a number of new hands-on and conceptual approaches, and then to apply them to the specific needs of the elderly client.
The fee for the course is $300.00 payable by check or cash to Therapeutic Touch Services,       12018 Scribe Dr., Austin, TX 78759 by 2/8/07. Light refreshments will be provided, with adequate breaks for mealtimes. Any inquiries may be forwarded to me at sullivan@..., or 512-589-5278.
