Being able to quickly evaluate and re-evaluate a client’s
physical status from visit to visit is crucial to providing the
best possible treatment for that client. It helps the
therapist to focus their treatment, and to give the
appropriate education to the client post massage. This
course takes a muscle memory approach to orthopedic
assessment and reduces testing protocols to bite-sized
groupings that students will be able to perform in modules
of 2 minutes or less. These assessment protocols will yield
accurate results with your clients.
This one day course will present a detailed anatomical
review of the liver, stomach and duodenum - position,
fascias, innervation, function and mobility - as well as a
variety of techniques from sensorial listening, assessment of
fascial restrictions to direct fascial manipulation and
treatment of the contents. NOVEL APPROACH TO TREATING
AXILLARY WEB SYNDROME
Paul Lewis, BA, RMT, NCBTMB
5/24/15, 10-2, $90/$100 + HST, 2 CEUs - Cat A
CANCER AND CLIENT CARE 1:
THEORY AND PRACTICE - UPPER BODY
Hanifa Menen, N.D. and Jeff Appelmann, N.D.
5/24/15, 10-1, $90/$100 + HST, 1.5 CEUs - Cat A
Axillary web syndrome (AWS), also called lymphatic
cording, typically presents in the weeks after axillary
surgery for breast cancer. This painful condition is likely
angiolymphatic in origin. It restricts use of the upper
extremity and has no established treatment although
physical therapy and other approaches have been used
to variable effect. We apply therapeutic massage
techniques using Dynamic Angular Petrissage (DAP) with
the aim of quickly but gently reducing upper extremity
pain and improving range of motion. DAP is a prerequisite
for this course.
Introduction to an overview of the most prevalent
cancers in the general public and the common
presentations of these clients. Therapists will learn how to
safely assess cancer therapeutic needs of clients prior to
massage treatments, and how to manage ongoing
health concerns as clients work through possible
chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments. Indications
and contraindications for massage treatments will be
discussed. Practical portion will help teach therapists
acupressure points that are most indicated for this group
with explanation of theory behind practice.

MANUAL APPROACH TO WORKING IN THE PELVIC REGION
Katerina Pek, MD (cz), RMT
5/30/15-5/31/15, 10-6, $335/$365 + HST, 7 CEUs - Cat A
This course is based on the principles of Dynamic Posture and Spiraldynamik. It emphasizes improvement of the function
of the pelvic region – especially normalization of the muscle tone and circulation, and uses myofascial techniques to
loosen scar tissue in the abdominal cavity. It is an effective supportive approach for individuals who have functional
gynecological and urinary disorders. Emphasis is put on external manual treatment of malpositions of the coccyx and
activation of the pelvic floor musculature. In addition to manual therapy, specific exercises for the lumbar and pelvic
regions are given. May 2015 Continuing Education Instructors
