2024 Massage Therapy Continuing Education Workshops Calendar

 

 


3/10/2024 - Advanced Assessment and Session Design

Massage Therapy Continuing Education Hours: 6 CE hrs

Presented in-person - $170

You have excellent hands-on skills and you know hundreds of great techniques, but is that enough to get your clients great results? When exactly do you apply all those great techniques? And to what specific tissue would they be most effective? The path towards better client outcomes begins with a great assessment and ultimately rests on your clinical reasoning.

We have three primary goals with this course:

1. Learn to take a subjective history that is time efficient, improves clinical reasoning and initiates the therapeutic alliance.

2. Learn to take active and passive objective measurements that provide the therapist with a clear test / retest strategy.

3. Take all the information gained from the subjective and objective assessment and design a session that helps your clients move more and with less pain.

Thursday, November 7th through Sunday, November 10th. Thursday class takes place from 1:30pm to 5:30pm and classes Friday-Sunday are from 9:00am-5:00pm. 

We are musculoskeletal beings, yet most therapists focus only on the muscular side of that equation. That addresses only half of that system! Zero Balancing (ZB) – adding a mindful focus on the bones, key joints, and the energy flowing through them, as well as on the soft tissues associated with them – gives you access to the deepest layer of the person, who they are in their bones. Zero Balancing adds wholeness to your work and your client’s experience and is the missing piece in the world of bodywork and bodymind therapies.

**You must have taken ZB I in order to take this course.**

Zero Balancing (ZB) is a hands-on bodywork system that aligns energy and structure. Simple, yet powerful, it focuses on the whole person, while superbly addressing specific needs and symptoms. Considered at the leading edge of body/mind therapies, ZB integrates Western scientific approaches to body structure with Eastern concepts of energy and healing. Zero Balancing focuses on the balance of energy and structure within the musculoskeletal system – particularly releasing tension and held energy from the bones, ligaments, and their associated soft tissues.
