Description

  • Improve your therapy outcomes using current research findings
  • Deepen your knowledge of anatomical and fascial structures
  • Teach your clients to work with you during therapy
  • Eliminate chronic pain by working below the client’s pain threshold
  • Slow down, focus your attention, be more effective with less effort

This workshop will update you on current research evidence to inform and refine your therapeutic skills. The class will focus on research topics such as affective outcomes, inflammatory response, pain science, and trauma and resiliency. Proper use of thermal therapies, the reeducation of post-traumatic injury response in wound repair, and functional movement patterning will also be covered. Help your clients become self reliant by teaching them to fully engage their own self awareness and interoception. Strengthen your practice and deepen your massage skills with all client populations.

Every time I study with Pete, I learn so much! He always brings new, updated info to class. Love Pete!
