Friday's Workshop offerings are:
Advanced Deep Tissue Techniques for the Head and Neck - 7 CE
Presented by Eric Stephenson
Along with the back, the head and neck is always one of clients favorite places to be massaged. Often times, as therapists, we fall into the same old routines in this area of the body; the same old strokes and techniques. This entire day of head and neck work will combine Deep Tissue techniques to the sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, multifidi, trapezius, levator scapulae, splenius capitis; along with wonderfully relaxing Swedish stokes as well as stretching. Leave this focused workshop with a brand new set of tools to immediately start using in your practice.

Attendees will be able to:
identify necessities for all medical massage practitioners including how to gain a foundation for working in medical settings (including hospital culture and infection control practices);
discover how to build successful relationships with other medical professionals in clinical settings; and,
review case studies performed and where the medical massage community is being supported nationally.
Saturday's Workshop Offerings:
Structures Integrated for Functional Movement - 8 CE Presented by Nathan Nordstrom
This class is arranged to look in-depth into each portion of the body. It goes through each joint's standard movements and the top dysfunctions regularly seen in the area. We then give several tools and techniques to work with the soft tissue to create pain free movement.

Feet First! Advanced Deep Tissue Techniques for Feet and Ankles - 7 CE presented by Eric Stephenson
An entire workshop devoted sole-ly (pun intended) to the feet! We will examine anatomy at the foundation of our structure and techniques to address common complaints such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis and other common conditions. In addition, we will introduce our No Thumbs Deep Tissue approach and Core Body Mechanics in a seated position for optimal ease in delivering the work.
Sunday's Ethics Offering:
Massage Ethics: Creating a Drama Free Practice - 3 CE Presented by Eric Stephenson
Working with other human beings in a therapeutic environment can be extremely rewarding and at times, full of strain, hassles and heartbreak. Drama is a voluntary behavior that creates negative emotions or outcomes, draining resources of time, money and harmonious relationships. In this highly engaging presentation, we will delve into 5 pillars of a drama free massage practice and how to apply the concepts for success in your professional and personal life. Learn how to eliminate stress in and around you!
