Thai foot reflexology is a marriage between the ancient healing arts of reflexology, Chinese tuina, Japanese shiatsu and Indian Ayurvedic yoga. Thai reflexology is easy and fun to learn and incorporate into your existing practice. Working with the feet, lower legs and knees, this 2000 year old, highly reputed session frees up blocked energy within the body’s many sen lines (Thai- based meridians) to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well-being.
Unlike conventional western reflexology, Thai reflexology takes a relatively short time to learn. This is because the session follows a protocol, rather than relying on extensive education and practice to create an effective session.
In this class you will learn:
★ the history and philosophy behind Thai foot reflexology
★ how to give a gentle 60-minute traditional Thai reflexology session
★ the names and locations of the 6 major sen lines located in the feet & lower legs
★ the body systems and health issues governed by the sen lines
★ placement of conventional reflexology points along the sen lines
★ the difference between Thai reflexology and conventional western reflexology
★ how to incorporate hydrotherapy in your Thai reflexology session
★ how to choose efficacious lubricants for a Thai reflexology session
★ how to prepare and care for your Thai foot stick.
You will be given an illustrated manual, Thai foot stick and a bottle of organic Thai oil.
Preparation:
Wear clothes that allow access to your lower legs and knees, and slip-on shoes that you can remove quickly and easily. Please be familiar with the bones of the lower legs and feet.

Description:
Bowen Therapy is a neuromusculoskeletal approach to Health Care that employs soft tissue manipulation, for the correction of mechanical and neural dysfunction essentially “resetting” the body. It is based on accupoint theory and shiatsu (meaning finger point pressure), and a holistic appreciation of interrelationships within the body, and is intended to facilitate the body’s natural capacity to self-regulate and heal . Developed in Australia and popular in Europe and the UK, it is not well-known in America quite yet but rapidly gaining in popularity due to its overwhelming success for a wide variety of maladies for people and animals alike – back pain, knee pain, hip pain, migraines, digestive issues, TMJ, muscle spasms. Since it is a light touch through clothing anyone from the infirm to the infant can receive the Bowen Technique. The body can heal itself of any imbalance if given the proper signals!

Beyond Trigger Point Seminars - Shoulder & Upper Torso Unit

Description:
Beyond Trigger Point Seminars: Shoulder & Upper Torso Unit provides a step-by-step protocol for relieving myofascial pain due to trigger points.* Confidently treat pain and dysfunction using proven neuromuscular methods. Nine muscles groups harboring trigger points in the upper torso & shoulder region are covered.
Day One begins by addressing the challenges of treating clients with Myofascial Pain Syndromes.
The morning topics cover:
Three methods for identifying trigger points
Identification of the common pain patterns and dysfunction in the rotator cuff, scalene and respiratory muscles
Clear language for why clients still hurt from an old injury
Postural and functional assessment of the shoulder joint
Rationale and treatment protocol for ice & stretch method
Years ago I saw Dr Travell, leading pioneer in trigger point pain, relieve a stiff neck from the time it took an elevator to drop from the top floor to the lobby using the ice & stretch method. This is the easiest and quickest way to restore a muscle’s normal resting position. We’ll use an inexpensive cryostim. Once you learn the rationale, you can apply this method to any muscle.
After lunch you will practice and receive a 5-Step-Treatment protocol. The afternoon session is all hands-on. Do you have any problems with your shoulders? Great! We will access and treat them. Perpetuating factors and home programs will also be addressed.

Day Two begins by creating a steady balance between the core muscles of the upper torso and the positioning of the shoulder girdle. Eliminating medially rotated shoulders and creating uplift to the chest are the visual end-goals.
