Therapeutic Techniques of Deep Tissue Massage: Part II
E1067 - Massage CE Program - 28 CE Hour(s)
Based on the popular 7-DVD set by Art Riggs, Certified Advanced Rolfer, CMT, this advanced practice home study course clearly demonstrates the principles necessary for deep tissue massage that's safe, sensitive and efficient.
This program also delves into the complex issues of soft tissue restrictions, osseous articulations and strategies for working with the multitude of different issues we face as therapists. This extensive training series not only shows countless strokes and techniques, but more importantly will demonstrate the qualitative art of working with deep tissues to effect profound change.
In this course, you will:
- define Deep Tissue Massage, identify its main principles and benefits and recognize at least 5 areas of caution
- differentiate between compressing tissue and stretching it; identify principles of correct biomechanics and recognize the key element of "melting" muscle tissue
- identify each of these stroke strategies, with examples of when their use is appropriate: lengthening, anchor and stretch, cross-fiber, separating muscle compartments, freeing entrapments and allowing muscles to shorten
- determine why it's important to place muscles in a stretched position and how to use side-lying positions
- identify specific therapeutic strategies for each of these areas: foot and lower leg, upper leg, pelvis, pelvis and low back, abdomen, upper and mid-back, shoulder girdle and chest, arms, hands and neck, skull and jaw
- learn how to instruct your clients about preventing back pain, neck pain and headaches, and recognize malignant melanoma
- identify therapeutic strategies for common complaints in each of the following areas and how to correctly apply it to practice situations: the ankle, plantar fasciaitis, the knee, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, the low back, sciatica and the shoulder
- describe the key elements in assessing clients and choosing appropriate deep tissue approaches for them
- understand how to establish and maintain a thriving practice that includes Deep Tissue Massage and expresses who you are
