Tools of the Trade
Length: 12 Hours
Our bodies, especially our hands, are not designed to withstand the many hours of pressure and stresses imposed upon them (us) by the nature of our work as therapists. Overworked soft tissues are highly susceptible to injury. We know this from working with clients who have “overloaded” their bodies. This twelve (12) hour course will explain many of the tools available to us that can help us finish our day of assisting others to feel better without that assistance being at our expense.
We will be doing:
- Acupressure – how to create circuits with your hands
- Micro Current therapy – E-stim
- Percussor – This device emits energy in a straight line, (unlike vibration) mobilizing tissue at a very deep level. You will love this tool!
- Acu-Taping
- Tuning Forks
- Far Infra-red heat lamps
- Body mechanics for both client and therapist will be reviewed
