Learn Thai massage and Shiatsu acupressure techniques with TLC's Asian Bodywork Program
with Randy Cummins, LMT
The Asian Bodywork Program incorporates both Thai stretching and Shiatsu (Sho-shin). This is one of the only modalities that is adaptable to the floor, table and chair.
In addition to soft tissue manipulations designed to free the body, mind and spirit, students will learn bodywork involving specific sequences of acu-pressure points, passive stretches, tractions, and compressions to areas of musculoskeletal and energetic tension. Clients will experience dramatic relief of musculo-skeletal tension and pain, healthier posture, freer movement, and less bodily-held stress.
Students will also learn, through giving and receiving work, enhanced self-care for themselves as massage therapists. Special attention will be paid to therapist’s mental attention, breath and balance.
This class will give the therapist an additional massage modality that will expand their success in their practice through a deeper working knowledge of both energetic and clinical applications.
*This class will also give you the information needed to answer the Asian bodywork questions on the National Certification Exam for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
The Asian Bodywork Program is a unique 50-hour training with Randy Cummins and Cindy Anderson, two of our most inspiring and effective teachers.
