Then we begin evaluating the fascial network at key locations to identify stress or dysfunction. Topics will include osteopathic concepts that relate to our therapy methods\, and how to apply those concepts in assessment and treatment. I believe that understanding the relationship between concept and technique is key to obtaining optimal results. \nThe second day begins with grounding and centering to refine our perception. Then we mindfully assess tension patterns and fascial pulls in the lower extremities\, upper extremities\, and torso. By applying what we have learned to different layers of tissue\, we will literally be “following the fascia” to the dominant restriction. Finally\, we pull everything together to practice assessment and treatment. This training will expand your skill in any method of bodywork. \nPrerequisites: NONE. The class is open to everyone. (Two or more years of hands-on experience is recommended) \nCore benefits\nLearn advanced manual assessment strategies and fascial evaluation techniques\nUnderstand key principles of effective assessment and treatment \nWhy take this two-day class?\nAfter participating in this class\, you will be able to: \n\nDiscuss the importance of grounding before assessment\nDescribe the role of mindfulness in palpation\nDemonstrate one or more techniques for relaxing the nervous system\nDiscuss how to enhance palpation skills for assessment and treatment\nDemonstrate using touch to evaluate sympathetic activation\nDiscuss the Osteopathic concept of “The Body Hugs the Lesion”\nDemonstrate identification of postural strain patterns through touch\nDiscuss the importance of fascia in manual assessment\nDiscuss the potential role of interoception in assessment\nPerform three or more assessment techniques at the feet and ankles\nDemonstrate how assessment can merge into treatment\nDiscuss the concept of “inhibition”\nDescribe how to use rhythms and micro-movements in assessment and treatment\nDemonstrate how to apply inhibition to orthopedic testing\nDemonstrate fascial assessment of the upper extremities\, lower extremities\, and back\nDemonstrate “following the fascia’ in both assessment and treatment\n\nFee\n$350 Early Registration Price before August 29 (includes study guide) $395 after August 29 \nContinuing Education: 16 Contact Hours\n“Training Your Touch 2: Following the Fascia” is approved for the following: \n\nNCBTMB certified therapists (and LMT’s in states that accept NCBTMB approval)\nMassage therapists in Florida and Georgia (CE Broker Tracking #: 20-747062)\n\n\n\n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n \nSecure Online Registration with PayPal\n\n\nRegistration Type*Register Early (350\,- USD) by August 29Register Late (395\,- USD) after August 29I can bring a table to the class*YesNoI need Continuing Education hours for this event*YesNoName*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone*Address* \n \n \n \n Street Address\n \n \n Address Line 2\n \n \n City\n \n AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n State\n \n \n ZIP Code\n \n \n Profession & License Number (may be provided later)Payment Method*PayPal CheckoutCredit Card\n MasterCardVisaSupported Credit Cards: MasterCard\, Visa\n \n Card Number\n \n \n \n Expiration Date\n \n \n  \n Security Code\n \n \n \n Cardholder Name URL:https://polarityhealthcare.com/event/training-your-touch-2-following-the-fascia-4 LOCATION:Georgia Massage School\, 2800 Horizon Ridge Court Suite 275\, Suwanee\, GA\, 30024\, United States CATEGORIES:Georgia GEO:34.0327721;-84.0315916 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Georgia Massage School 2800 Horizon Ridge Court Suite 275 Suwanee GA 30024 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2800 Horizon Ridge Court Suite 275:geo:-84.0315916,34.0327721 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261009T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261009T173000 DTSTAMP:20260421T123254 CREATED:20251009T153248Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260316T125343Z UID:5060-1791534600-1791567000@polarityhealthcare.com SUMMARY:The Kinesiology Connection DESCRIPTION:Have you experienced the power of muscle testing? This class is an introduction to the art and science of manual resistive muscle testing (based on applied kinesiology). Participants will learn to locate muscular imbalance and correct it quickly using integrative massage techniques. Topics include tests for dehydration and hypotonicity\, as well as evaluation of key muscles throughout the body. We even include a simple and remarkably effective treatment for emotional stress. Massage therapists deal with muscle imbalance almost every day and it can be causing or perpetuating a wide range of other problems. Join us and learn fast\, easy ways to resolve it. \nOne of the treatment techniques covered in The Kinesiology Connection is neuro-lymphatic reflexes (Chapmann’s reflexes)\, a powerful method for treating muscular dysfunction and also valuable for self care. Participants will get ample practice with this technique. This class is an excellent preparation for those who want to go on to more extensive study in Touch For Health Kinesiology. \nNo Prerequisites \nCore benefits\nLearn to perform accurate muscle testing.

What if you could skip the non-essentials\, simplify the philosophy\, and focus on material you will be able to use in your office on Monday morning?  If that sounds appealing\, join us! This two-day seminar will take the mystery out of meridians. \nWe focus on applying acupuncture concepts to massage therapy assessment and treatment. You will become familiar with some acupuncture points but the real emphasis is on the meridian itself. You will learn to trace fourteen meridians from memory and discuss the associated muscles\, organs\, emotions\, and pathologies. \nOn the second day\, you will learn about categories of acupressure points including entry and exit points\, front mu and back shu points\, and command points.  Working with these points will deepen your understanding and comfort level with the meridian pathways. It sounds like a lot of material but the content of this class is structured to meet the practical needs of massage therapists. \nExpect to become comfortable locating acupressure points as well as using combinations of points to treat meridians\, organs and systems. We will use intention as well as physical stimulation in this approach. Our own personal meridian systems will be treated several times throughout the weekend and we will finish by practicing assessment and treatment in triads. If you keep hearing about meridians and wish you understood them better\, this is a rare opportunity to increase your confidence and therapeutic effectiveness by spending two days immersed in them. \nThis seminar is a perfect complement to classes in muscle testing or Touch For Health Kinesiology. The material will also be appreciated by practitioners of chi gung or tai chi. These practical concepts and hands-on techniques are useful for anyone who is interested in meridians and health. \nCore benefits\nDevelop basic skill at locating\, evaluating and treating 14 meridian channels from traditional Chinese medicine.\nDevelop basic skill at locating\, evaluating and treating major acupuncture points. \nWhy take this two-day class?\nBy participating in this class\, you will: \n\nLearn to locate and trace fourteen acupuncture meridians\nLearn a technique called “meridian walking” for acute pain\nStudy muscles\, organs\, emotions and pathologies relating to each meridian\nLearn how to use meridians in clinical assessment\nLearn how to treat meridian imbalance with massage techniques\nLearn how acupuncture concepts apply to any clinical bodywork practice\nPractice meridian exercises and self-treatment\nPractice locating\, evaluating\, and treating acupuncture points\nLearn to use entry and exit points for balancing meridians\nLearn how to use front mu (alarm) points and back shu points to treat organs\nLearn the most powerful treatment points for common conditions\nLearn how to easily integrate acupuncture points into massage practice\n\nFee\n$350 (includes manual) \nContinuing Education: 16 Contact Hours\n“The Meridian Connection” is approved for the following: \n\nNCBTMB certified therapists and LMT’s in all states that accept NCBTMB approval\nClass is registered with the Tennessee Board of Massage Licensure (CE Broker Course Tracking Number: 20-1338361)\n\nRegistration\nPlease register through the Cumberland Institute of Holistic Therapies  615-370-9794 URL:https://polarityhealthcare.com/event/the-meridian-connection-4 LOCATION:Cumberland Institute\, 500 Wilson Pike Cr.
