Part III, Advanced Strokes and Assessment and Evaluation

Course overview

There are three parts to this workshop. The first introduces at least 24 new strokes (many of which I invented). Second, there are two comprehensive recipe approaches, one for low back pain and the other for neck pain. The recipe approaches include the new strokes and a hands-on review of the relevant strokes from the first two courses. Third, this course includes basic strategies for evaluation and treatment, in other words, going beyond recipe approaches to knowing how to translate what you see, what you feel, and what the client tells you into an effective course of treatment. The Advanced Class represents a real difference from other hands-on modalities in its simplicity, its underlying methodology, the relative ease it takes to learn and become competent, and its immediate effectiveness. The course, more than the first two, is almost all hands-on. On the last day of the class you will have the opportunity to bring to the seminar family, friends, and clients. The class will work on them under my guidance, using what you have learned earlier in the week. In past classes this has been a time of real miracles! You do not have to be certified in the Myofascial Release Massage to take this class. Part I, Upper Body and Part II, Lower body are pre-requisites for taking Part III. As part of the seminar tuition you will receive a 122 page fully illustrated manual that includes a summary of all the key points in the seminar. This seminar, as with all my seminars, is approved for 20 hours of continuing education by the NCBTMB, AMTA, ABMP, and the state massage boards of Maryland and Florida.
