Course Description:
Massage therapists work with soft tissue injuries in a way that few other practitioners do. That’s why athletes and active individuals experiencing chronic conditions of the lower extremity seek out their massage therapists to help them recover. Sports massage techniques are widely used to address musculoskeletal complaints of the lower extremity and are a valuable adjunct to the repertoire of any massage therapist interested in treating injuries.
This 8-hour seminar focuses on these chronic injuries that respond well to clinically-oriented sports massage:
- Chronic ankle sprain
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Fibularis tendinopathy
- Hamstrings strain and tendinopathy
- Adductor strain
- Jumper’s knee (patellar tendinopathy)
Facilitated Stretching for Massage Therapists - 8 CE Seminar
80% hands-on
MTI will supply Massage Tables unless you are notified
Student will supply table Linens
Dress for stretching and exercise
Course Description:
Massage therapists often feel they don’t have the training or expertise to correctly perform stretches and avoid incorporating them into their sessions. They may also avoid including stretches for their clients because they seem to strenuous. Facilitated Stretching is a safe, simple, yet dramatically effective stretching technique that can be used with a wide variety of clients to regain or improve flexibility. This method of stretching is easy on the therapist, engages the client in the process, and easy to incorporate into a massage session.
Facilitated stretching, combined with soft tissue work, will enable the practitioner to obtain greater overall success in client treatment sessions. Additionally, a program of self-stretching using these techniques can be invaluable for clients in their home stretching programs.
