SUMMARY:Training Your Touch: Advanced Palpation Skills
DESCRIPTION:Real success in massage therapy\, or any method of hands-on healing\, depends largely on your mastery of mindfulness and palpation. There just isn’t enough time for that in a typical massage school curriculum. \nNow\, you can take matters into your own hands with these two\, full days of training. The advanced palpation class blends lecture\, discussion and guided exercises with plenty of hands-on practice to refine your sense of touch. On the first day\, working with inanimate objects and living tissues\, we adopt strategies from world-renowned educators to increase sensitivity and awareness. On the second day\, our examination of skin\, fascia and muscles will flow seamlessly into treatment with results that will boost your confidence as a therapist. If you expect palpation to be boring\, I think you will be surprised. \nYour study guide includes activities we do in class as well as excellent references so you can continue to evolve your skills after you leave. Our goal is not to add to your knowledge but rather to transform your practice. Whether you are a student\, an experienced therapist or a massage instructor\, you will find growth\, insight and inspiration in this weekend adventure. \nCORE BENEFITS\nDevelop and Refine Advanced Palpation and Manual Assessment Skills \nWHY TAKE THIS TWO-DAY CLASS?\nAfter participating in this class\, you will be able to: \n\nDiscuss the anatomy and physiology of touch\nDiscuss the importance of verbal description in palpation\nDescribe techniques to develop and enhance palpatory skills\nEvaluate the level of nervous system activation through touch\nDemonstrate specific techniques for assessing and treating fascia\nPalpate and evaluate the cardiac pulse\nPalpate and evaluate respiratory movements\nDiscuss skin temperature and its role in assessment\nDemonstrate specific techniques for assessing and treating skin\nEvaluate muscle tone and muscle function\nDiscuss the importance of “end-feel”\nEvaluate joint health and range of motion\n\nWhat participants have to say! \nFEE\n$350 Early Registration Price (including study guide) \nCONTINUING EDUCATION: 16 CONTACT HOURS\n“Training Your Touch: Palpation and Manual Assessment” is approved for the following: \n\nNCBTMB (and for LMT’s in all states that accept NCBTMB approval)\nFlorida and Georgia Massage Therapists (CE Broker Tracking #: 20-610842)\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION: ONLINE RESIGSTRATION IS CLOSED BUT THERE STILL MAY BE A SPACE.

SUMMARY:Training Your Touch 2: Following the Fascia
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: \nWE ARE CURRENTLY AT MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT FOR THIS CLASS. HOWEVER\, THERE MAY BE A CANCELLATION OR OPENING. IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED\, PLEASE SEND EMAIL WITH YOUR NAME\, PHONE\, AND THIS CLASS CODE (TYT2 ATLANTA22) TO RANDALL@POLARITYHEALTHCARE.COM. PUT “WAITLIST” IN THE SUBJECT LINE. \nYOU WILL BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST AND NOTIFIED IF A SPOT BECOMES AVAILABLE. \nTHANK YOU! \n  \n  \nAre you ready for the next step in refining your skills? After a quick review/preview of Training Your Touch: Advanced Palpation Skills (Which is NOT a prerequisite for this class)\, we will practice palpating and assessing physiological movement in the body. Then we begin evaluation of the fascial body at various listening points to identify stress or dysfunction. Topics will include osteopathic concepts that relate to our therapy methods\, and how to apply those concepts as treatment techniques. I believe that understanding the relationship between concept and technique is one key to 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”. Finally\, we pull everything together in order to practice assessment and treatment in groups of three. This class will expand your skill in any method of bodywork. \nPrerequisites: NONE. This class is open to everyone. (Two or more years of hands-on experience is recommended) \n  \nIMPORTANT NOTE ON MASKS:  The Georgia Massage School currently requires all participants in school sponsored activities to wear an N95 or a KN95 mask. You can review their policies HERE. Please make sure you are in alignment with these policies as they are required in order for you to participate in the seminar. If you have questions\, please contact the Georgia Massage School. \nCORE BENEFITS\nLearn advanced manual assessment strategies and fascial evaluation techniques \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 “mindful 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 mirror neurons 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\nBe able to “follow the fascia’ in both assessment and treatment\n\nFEE\n$285 Early Registration Price (including study guide) \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\nRegistration: CURRENTLY WAITLISTED\nRegistration Closed \n\n\n  \nAlternative methods of signing up:\nDownload a mail-in registration form\nor call 330.701.8780 to register by phone
