BODY MECHANICS FOR MASSAGE
After years of teaching other classes and people asking me to run a class on this… here it is.
All the things that you learned in school and should still be doing
All the things you learned in school that you want to give up that you haven’t
Plus all my usual tricks and tips to make your life as a therapist more comfortable for your body.
Good body mechanics is the key to a longer career and making more money.
Learn how to better use:
– Your legs
– Your back
– Your shoulder girdle
Learn self care techniques
Do you hate the diaper draping but have never learned a better way?
I hate it when therapists do this to me and it makes me cringe when I see people doing it in the classes I teach. If you have a heavy leg this is not nice on your body to do. And besides most clients hate it.
I will teach you alternate ways to drape the whole body than most therapists have been taught in the past 12-15 years.
Easy, fast and still provide lots of secure coverage.
What to expect
If you have been in any of my classes you will know that I practice what I preach and that while you are working I will tweak your posture repeatedly so that it sinks in and starts to change.
You are going to be shown some tricks for working that make it easier on your body, and you will be massaging each other to put that into practice.
As always, any questions around marketing and general practice are also welcome during the class. You are welcome to pick my brain.

CMTO -CEU’S
All CEU’s are calculated the same way. You will log the time you spend watching, practicing and reviewing the material. Then you record 1 CEU for every 2 hours you spend.
For example if you spend a total of 8 hours with this material then you will log 4 CEU’s in Category A – Massage Therapy Application.
