Description:

This 3 CE course offers Licensed Massage Therapists a unique, hands-on opportunity to deepen their anatomical understanding through direct interaction with pre-dissected cadaveric specimens. Participants will explore major anatomical structures, including muscles, bones, nerves, and organs, in a controlled and respectful environment. Through guided examination and palpation, attendees will enhance their knowledge of the human body’s spatial relationships and functional anatomy, directly relating this to massage therapy practice.

Students will develop practical skills in handling and examining cadaveric material with gloves and aprons, ensuring safety and respect for the donors. The course will emphasize the clinical correlations between anatomical structures and massage therapy techniques, helping students recognize anatomical variations, multi-layered tissues, and their implications for therapeutic practice. Additionally, students will engage in discussions on the ethical considerations of using cadaveric specimens, fostering a deeper appreciation and respect for the individuals who have donated their bodies for educational purposes.

By the end of this course, participants will have enhanced their anatomical knowledge, improved their palpation skills, and developed a greater awareness of the ethical dimensions of their practice, ultimately contributing to more effective and informed massage therapy treatments.

Materials Required and Provided by ASMMW: Disposable gloves and aprons. Personal protective equipment (PPE) adherence is mandatory. Masks are optional.

By completing this course, massage therapy students will gain valuable insights and practical skills that will enhance their professional practice and contribute to their continuing education.

PNMT Form and Function 16CE
2025-02-08 09:00 - 2025-02-09 18:00 | Arizona School Of Medical Massage And Wellness, 8279 W Lake Pleasant Pkwy, Suite 106, Peoria, AZ, 85382, United States
PNMT Form and Function is about the decisions a therapist makes and what strategies are behind those decisions. All experienced therapists have a large toolbox filled with treatment options. By what process do you decide which ones to use and when? These are not easy questions.

Structural assessment is important, but must be done with speed and accuracy. Moreover, how can you know that the structural asymmetry is related to the client’s presenting symptom? By integrating functional assessment as well, this seminar can help you design protocols that create measurable and immediate results for the client. The goal is to treat the right muscle for the right reason; the wisdom is in the choosing.

One short course. . . long-lasting results for you!

Register Here: https://www.anatomytrains.com/product/anatomy-trains-in-structure-and-function-peoria-az-2025/

A revolutionary map with practical results! Transform your view of myofascial anatomy and expand your ability to assess postural and movement patterns, and to create lasting fascial change with your hands.

In this exciting course you will learn about the myofascial tissue and its many roles in the body. You will begin to appreciate how the body incorporates the Anatomy Train Lines to create easy and graceful movement – provided they are in some form of balance and harmony; restriction or weakness in one section can have many compensatory effects elsewhere.

This workshop will show you how that happens, how to trace the lines of strain and, most importantly, how you can develop strategies to deal with them.

This is the first workshop to combine Anatomy Trains theory alongside structural and functional anatomy and analysis, blending together the concepts of tensegrity with elastic recoil for movement efficiency.

Get the latest information on fascia, muscle, and movement

Be able to identify the 12 myofascial meridians and their link to human growth, development, perception and consciousness

Accurately “BodyRead” posture and movement; assess your clients in a new way

Gain effective myofascial and movement strategies

Develop treatment strategies specific to your clients’  structural and functional patterns

Anatomy Trains in Structure & Function courses give you new techniques to transform structure by reaching deeper issues in the tissues.

Anatomy Trains in Structure & Function is suitable for Manual Therapists (massage therapists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors), it also serves as the prerequisite to the ATSI Certification Program.

What to Expect at the Live Training Seminar

The PRRT Live-Training Seminar has been held in dozens of locations around the United States and worldwide in Japan, Denmark, Ireland, and England, with seminars in other countries coming soon. Your exciting experience begins on the morning of the first day and typically concludes mid-day on day two.

The Saturday/Sunday format makes it possible to attend the Live Training Seminar without missing valuable time and income away from your practice. A qualified instructor will take you through the steps for the exam, demonstrate each technique, and will be able to answer all of your questions. Your instructor will also be available after you return home for follow-up inquiries you may have. How many other seminars have you attended offering this rare after-seminar instructor access?

At the PRRT Live-Training Seminar, You Will:

Learn to perform the One-Minute NocioceptivExam™

This unique exam allows for a rapid assessment of the underlying cause of a patient’s pain. It quickly identifies overly protective muscle and joint reflexes, which may be reduced or eliminated with PRRT techniques.

Learn 30 or more Primal Reflex Release Techniques™

These techniques address the most common conditions you face daily in your practice. You will observe other attendees being treated and see their pain released, usually in seconds. You will also have the opportunity to practice with other attendees.

Receive an extensively detailed manual.

The PRRT™ Seminar manual contains pictures and step-by-step instructions for each of the 30 techniques that will be demonstrated. Techniques take about 12 seconds to perform and provide pain release with speed and ease, requiring virtually no force or manipulation.

Learn the Fundamental Theory behind PRRT

You will learn why primal reflexes, protective reflexes, the withdrawal reflex, and the startle reflex influence pain, how they relate to the PRRT model about PRRT and the dura mater, and which muscles, directly and indirectly, influence them. By the end of the seminar, you will understand how the Primal Reflex Release Technique™ fits into your pain management scheme.

When you return to work on Monday morning, you will have a changed perspective on pain relief and your practice. As you introduce the skills you have learned into your practice, you may soon discover that you have a new-found reputation in the town as the “go-to practitioner” for rapid pain release.

Description:

This 3 CE course offers Licensed Massage Therapists a unique, hands-on opportunity to deepen their anatomical understanding through direct interaction with pre-dissected cadaveric specimens. Participants will explore major anatomical structures, including muscles, bones, nerves, and organs, in a controlled and respectful environment. Through guided examination and palpation, attendees will enhance their knowledge of the human body’s spatial relationships and functional anatomy, directly relating this to massage therapy practice.

Students will develop practical skills in handling and examining cadaveric material with gloves and aprons, ensuring safety and respect for the donors. The course will emphasize the clinical correlations between anatomical structures and massage therapy techniques, helping students recognize anatomical variations, multi-layered tissues, and their implications for therapeutic practice. Additionally, students will engage in discussions on the ethical considerations of using cadaveric specimens, fostering a deeper appreciation and respect for the individuals who have donated their bodies for educational purposes.

By the end of this course, participants will have enhanced their anatomical knowledge, improved their palpation skills, and developed a greater awareness of the ethical dimensions of their practice, ultimately contributing to more effective and informed massage therapy treatments.

Materials Required: Bring disposable gloves, wear scrubs and/OR bring disposable aprons. Personal protective equipment (PPE) adherence is mandatory. Masks are optional if you want to bring them. I will have some disposable items if needed, just let me know.

By completing this course, massage therapy students will gain valuable insights and practical skills that will enhance their professional practice and contribute to their continuing education.

Pre-requisite: Honor system. Go to: https://www.gilhedley.com/membership and get the FREE “Easy Rider” membership and watch Integral Anatomy videos (at least the first few videos-the Skin, Superficial Fascia, Deep Fascia, and Muscle layers).

Location: GCU Grand Canyon University, 3300 W Camelback Rd, Bldg 57, 1st Floor Lab. Directions will be emailed after purchase.

Transportation: Students may meet at ASMMW 8279 W. Lake Pleasant Pkwy, Suit 106, Peoria, AZ 85382, at 11am, and travel to lab together. Space is limited in my vehicle, so call in advance if you want to ride share. We will trave back to school after the Lab, arriving approximately 3:30pm.

PNMT Cervical Spine-Tucson-16 CEs
2025-05-03 09:00 - 2025-05-04 18:00 | Arizona School of Medical Massage and Wellness (TUCSON), 205 W Giaconda Way, Suite 105, Tucson, AZ, 85704, United States
In a recent study, the likelihood of someone experiencing neck pain in a given year is about 23%. In other words, about 1 in 4 people will have a bout of neck pain this year, with the incidence rate being much higher in people who work in an office at a computer. These numbers translate to the massage table; neck pain will account for many of the visits to massage therapists this year.

The reality is, neck pain is complex. Releasing the suboccipitals can be wonderful in certain circumstances, disastrous in others. There is no routine that works for all the different iterations of possible neck issues. In PNMT Cervical Spine, we don’t teach routines, we focus in reasoning and problem solving. That takes time and expert guidance from the instructor. There is NO substitute for hands-on experience and the guidance of a mentor, especially in an area so small and complex as the neck.

SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1. Cervical Pain: Trapezius and Levator Scapulae Muscle Syndrome

It is impossible to successfully practice Medical Massage without mastering Medical Massage techniques. Our hands-on Medical Massage Basics class allows therapists to optimize their technical performance during the clinical application of massage therapy. Some techniques discussed during the class can be used as part of full-body massage sessions to build up a successful preventive massage therapy practice.

Day 2. Medical Massage Protocol for Rotator Cuff Syndrome/Frozen Shoulder

We start this class with SOMI’s new subject – evaluation and treatment of patients with tension and spasms in pectoralis muscles. From mimicking Cardiac Pain in the form of Fase Cardialgia Syndrome to various abnormalities in the function of the upper extremities, tension in pectoralis muscles is indeed very frequently mistreated with somatic syndrome. We will discuss all anatomical and pathological aspects as well as detailed evaluation and hands-on application of Medical Massage protocol.

Day 3. Medical Massage Protocols for Tensor Fascia Lata Muscle and the Iliotibial Band (IT Band)

The third day of the class covers the most frequent cause of pain and dysfunction in the lateral hip and knee joints as well as the lateral aspect of the thigh. The class begins with the anatomy and physiology of the Tensor Fascia Lata Muscle and the Iliotibial Band (IT Band). Afterward, we discuss possible causes of tension in the Tensor Fascia Lata Muscle and evaluate all soft tissue aspects on a layer-by-layer basis.

The rest of the day is dedicated to hands-on training in Medical Massage Protocol to restore the function of the Tensor Fascia Lata muscle and the IT Band.

Welcome to the ancient healing therapy known as Reflexology! Reflexology is a type of massage that works with subtle energy flows in which varying amounts of pressure are applied to the feet, hands and ears to promote healing. In this course, the student will be educated on how reflexology can reduce pain, improve circulation, provide a sense of balance and relaxation through specific points mapped out on the feet and hands. The underlying theory is that different organs are connected to these body parts and certain points corresponding to them can improve an individual’s health significantly helping to promote well-being. This course is aimed at anyone who wishes to gain a deep understanding of Reflexology and how to use it to ease pain and imbalances throughout the body.

SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1:Medical Massage Protocol for Lower Back Pain (Lumbalgia)

Lower Back Pain (LBP) is a general term for various syndromes that contribute to this widespread condition. In other words, it is a multifaceted enemy. Clinical success depends on the therapist’s ability to correctly identify and target the initial triggers, rather than secondary syndromes, which are often the most prominent.

During this course, we will cover the anatomy and pathology of the lumbar area, as well as the necessary evaluation and testing skills to develop a correct treatment strategy for tension in the Lumbar Erectors, the Quadratus Lumborum muscle, and rotators.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Osteoarthritis Hands-On Training Course

This class covers Osteoarthritis (OA) and the chain of pathological events that trigger OA. We will first discuss how to evaluate the soft tissues and joints affected by OA. Afterward, we will showcase the hands-on application of a Medical Massage protocol used to decompress any affected joints and diminish or stop the destructive processes within the cartilage and subchondral bone. During class, we will use knee OA as a clinical example.

Day 3: Soft Tissue Trauma: Leg Compartment Syndrome and Plantar Fasciitis

During the first part of the class, we will teach therapists how to ‘read’ large hematomas to accelerate tissue recovery and prevent the side effects of soft tissue trauma, including fascial adhesions and muscle shortening.

In the second part of the class, we will cover evaluation and Medical Massage protocols for all Leg Compartment Syndromes, and we will conclude the training with hands-on training in a Medical Massage protocol for Plantar Fasciitis.
