I know firsthand how much relief even 20 minutes of compassionate, focused touch can bring to someone battling this disease. That’s why I’m helping organize this effort—because this work matters.

The WPC is unlike any other conference. It brings together over 4,000 people from across the globe, including world-renowned neurologists, researchers, clinicians, caregivers—and most importantly—people living with Parkinson’s disease. They don’t just attend; they participate, lead, and inspire.

Massage and Reiki play a vital role in wellness for those with Parkinson’s. From easing tremors, muscle rigidity, and fatigue to soothing anxiety and fostering connection, our work helps people feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Manual Therapy to Eliminate Multiple Nerve Compression Patternsof the Upper and Lower BodyState-of-the-art anatomy and nerve graphics will enable manual therapists to visualize the inner workings of the human body. Starting with the brain and spinal cord, therapists will use positional release and soft tissue balancing protocols to address OA & C1-C2 fixations, cervical kyphosis (also known as “military neck”), spinal stenosis patterns, stuck facet joints, and treat sprains and strains throughout the body. Nerve tests include: the Spurling Test: spinal nerve compression; Eden’s Test: costo-clavicular syndrome; Adson’s Test: scalene and first rib involvement; Wright Abduction Test: pectoralis minor involvement; Tests to identify Cubital Tunnel and Guyon’s Canal (ulnar tunnel) conditions; Pronator Teres Test: median nerve entrapment; and Tests for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Complicated shoulder capsular adhesions will also be addressed. For the Lower Body, The Supine to sit test will evaluate for functional versus anatomical leg length discrepancies. Pelvic stabilization will be used to address sacral torsion patterns, iliosacral upslips, joint capsular patterns, femoral nerve compression, and normal muscle firing patterns. Therapists will level the sacral base and release the Sacrotuberous ligament for sciatic nerve pain. The Straight Leg Test will identify L5/ SI bulges or herniated discs. The Slump Test will identify hamstring strains that scar down the Sciatic Nerve. Tibial Torsions and Fixated Fibular Head Conditions will be corrected by releasing the biceps femoris muscle to address the Tibial and Fibular Nerve Entrapments.

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: You will use the main entrance and garage, which is at 3300 W Camelback Rd, Phoenix, 85017 (33rd Avenue and Camelback). Just tell the guard that you are here for the Cadaver Lab, and they will direct you where you should park..

From there, it’s a straight shot to the lab. Once you leave the garage, walk back past the guard booth where you drove in and head straight east to Building 57—you’ll pass between the arena and the grassy quad, and Building 57 (“Technology”) will be immediately in sight, straight ahead. I will meet you outside the north entrance of the first floor (near room 105). There are also signs on the building to direct you.

Understanding & Transforming Chronic Pain by Arnold Askew

Retraining Neural-Circuits & Neuromuscular Habits14 CE Hours + Approved by NCBTMB

Understanding & Transforming Chronic Pain:

An In-depth Introduction to the Theory and Techniques of Somatic Therapy

This class will review the latest neuroscience the brain plays in the perception and persistence of pain. This knowledge will quickly help us see the difference between “neuroplastic” and structurally caused pain. Understanding this is essential for consistent and successful treatment. First, we’ll review techniques to address the neuro-circuitry linked to chronic pain. Then we’ll use somatic education to change inefficient patterns of dysfunction. Therapeutically we’ll use “awareness-based touch and movement” to awaken proprioceptive centers and stimulate healthier neurological activity. A variety of injuries, pathologies and conditions will be discussed to make the information relevant for actual practice.

Though all of this may sound overwhelming, it comes together with simple techniques that are easy to apply and are gentle on the therapist. The work is relationship-based, so we will look at how to bring our clients into a healthier relationship with their own healing. And this process starts with us. We will use basic developmental movements to start our own process of self-exploration. With this “self-knowledge” our goal will be to help our clients become more autonomous and involved in whatever conditions may be a part of their lives.

Please wear clothing that allows unrestricted movement, and bring a mat or blanket for movement explorations on the floor.

Myotherapy is a targeted therapeutic modality grounded in comprehensive assessment and individualized treatment planning. This approach begins with evaluating postural and movement patterns to identify areas of muscular holding and dysfunction. Treatment focuses on locating and releasing trigger points, while integrating joint mobilization and passive stretching to restore balance, mobility, and functional movement.

In this course, practitioners will explore and apply myofascial release techniques, trigger point referral patterns, zone therapy, and mirror muscle concepts. Participants will leave with a complete, clinically applicable two-hour treatment protocol designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term musculoskeletal health.

This class is ideal for massage therapists seeking to deepen their therapeutic and deep tissue skill set, as well as those working with chronic pain presentations and athletic populations.

The Berry Method® Whole-Body Approach

Introduction to Corrective Massage

Taum who?

The Fundamentals of Corrective Massage

Re-balancing the knee…One muscle at a time.

One of many unique components of The Berry Method® is its explicit recognition that muscle tissues have an optimum natural functional position and can become misaligned due to trauma, adaptation, or other factors.

Sometimes, it’s as simple as putting the tissue back where it belongs.The Knee class includes both a regional and a specific, in-depth precision focus on Knee anatomy and the corrective techniques to return balance and pain-free movement.

In this class, you’ll build a knee out of clay from the bones outward, layer by layer. This hands-on process will give you a tactile understanding of how the bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles work together for healthy knee function.

As we sculpt and assemble each part, you’ll also learn the idiosyncrasies of each tissue and how to recognize when something is out of balance. Along the way, rebalancing techniques to stretch, correct, and manipulate each structure will be presented, practiced, and reviewed.

Each model will include:

Bones (landmarks for palpation):

Femur, Fibula, Tibia, and Patella

Ligaments:

ACL & PCL Cruciate Ligaments

MCL and LCL Collateral Ligaments

Muscles & Tendons:

Popliteus

Plantaris

Gastrocnemius

Biceps Femoris

Semimembranosus and Semitendinosus

Gracilis

Tensor Fasciae Latae

Articularis Genus

Vastus Medialis

Vastus Intermedius

Vastus Lateralis

Rectus Femoris

Patellar Tendon

Sartorius

The bones serve as tactile landmarks, helping you locate and identify the surrounding muscles with your hands and fingers. By the end, you’ll have both a clay model and a deeper tactile functional map of the knee — knowledge you can apply directly to assessment and treatment.

Physical and emotional burnout and injury are prevalent among massage therapists. Somatic Mindfulness bridges somatics and bodywork, teaching self-care as a professional skill, making the therapist’s own wellbeing the method for creating the conditions for healing, intuitive insight, and clarity of purpose.

Aug. 29: GROUNDING attuned touch invites the feet, legs, and hips to remember their innate stability and support, sharing their wisdom of rooting and rising with the rest of the body.

Aug 30: EXPANSION our responsive hands invite the breath to return to its natural fullness and flow, allowing the torso, back, arms, and shoulders to remember their capacity for strength and openness.

Aug 31: RADIANCE attuned touch allows the neck, head, and face to remember their natural clarity and lightness, sharing that freedom with the rest of the body.

Through Attuned Touch, each workshop invites discovery rather than direction, allowing the body to remember how it already knows to heal.

Somatic Mindfulness does not replace what therapists already practice. It magnifies it by making embodied awareness and self-regulation central to how touch is applied, received, and sustained.

Testimonials

“This class changed my life and the trajectory of my business! It also helped me to look at each little life lesson as an opportunity. I am now holding space for people through body-oriented coaching and Somatic Touch Therapy. Each time I have practiced attuned touch and embodied presence I have felt myself calming too. This class was a life-changing, mindset-shift tutorial that I will practice for the rest of my life.”“Dearest Fernando, this class was powerful and transformed me in so many ways. I am a different person. I now feel love for myself and put myself first. Your loving kindness allowed me to feel safe to speak and be seen. You have changed my life. Today was the first day I massaged with no pain. I said no to deep work. This class helped me love what I do again.”“After driving six hours home from class I stopped at a grocery store. Normally I despise grocery shopping, but everything felt in slow motion. The buzzing around me didn’t bother me. I was fully present and floating through the aisles. Even the raindrops on my car became beautiful. That’s when I knew something in me had changed.”“This course was absolutely life-changing for me! I can’t wait to go deeper and to offer it to my clients. I would recommend it to any bodyworker—or really any human—looking to deepen their connection with themselves and with others.”“It’s hard to put into words how much this workshop has impacted me. After twenty years of massage I have a completely new way of approaching mindfulness. The biggest takeaway was self-love. I didn’t realize how much I needed to learn these simple yet effective ways to listen, pause, and be present with myself first. I am forever grateful for this experience.”“This experience was definitely life-changing. I didn’t know what I signed up for, just looking to complete my CE requirements. I’ve learned techniques that will help me be a more in-tuned individual. So grateful for Fernando. His sensitivity allows you to feel vulnerable and soft. This was the beginning of something great for me.”“My experience with Fernando in the class was superb! In forty years as a massage therapist, he is one of the best. He led with his heart as well as his mind in this brilliant, beautiful class.”“This class was steeped in love, awareness, knowledge, wit, respect, and humor. Perfect for those who need a personal reset in a safe community that will translate to family and clients. Unforgettable.”“I believe this class has the ability to not only change your life but the lives of your clients and everyone you encounter. I will definitely be attending the next class.”“This class was a beautiful surprise, a homecoming to my own body and being. I left deeply relaxed and restored, with fresh perspectives I plan to explore with my toughest clients. Fernando has cultivated something truly special.”

PNMT-Cervical Spine (Two Day) in Phoenix, Arizona - 16 NCBTMB CEs

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, 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.

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: You will use the main entrance and garage, which is at 3300 W Camelback Rd, Phoenix, 85017 (33rd Avenue and Camelback). Just tell the guard that you are here for the Cadaver Lab, and they will direct you where you should park..

From there, it’s a straight shot to the lab. Once you leave the garage, walk back past the guard booth where you drove in and head straight east to Building 57—you’ll pass between the arena and the grassy quad, and Building 57 (“Technology”) will be immediately in sight, straight ahead. I will meet you outside the north entrance of the first floor (near room 105). There are also signs on the building to direct you.

SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1: Medical Massage Protocol for Middle Back Pain. Intercostal Nerve Neuralgia Hands-On Training Course

The class covers tension in the middle back muscles: the lower trapezius, paravertebral muscles, and rhomboids. The important part of the class is interactions between ribs and intercostal muscles, as well as their role in Intercostal Nerve Neuralgia.

We start with the anatomy, physiology, and function of all major players, including the respiratory system. We cover soft-tissue evaluation of the middle back and chest, layer by layer, and all Medical Massage protocols to eliminate tension in the soft tissues, including respiratory techniques to decompress affected soft tissues. Homework for patients as a preventive measure is also discussed.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Pectorials Major and Minor Muscle Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

We start this class with the evaluation and treatment of patients with tension and spasms of pectoral muscles. From mimicking Cardiac Pain in the form of Fase Cardialgia Syndrome to various abnormalities in the function of the upper extremities, tension in the pectoral muscles is indeed very frequently mistreated with somatic syndrome.

We will discuss all anatomical and pathological aspects, as well as detailed evaluation of the soft tissues layer by layer and hands-on application of the Medical Massage protocol.

Day 3: Medical Massage Protocol for TMJ Dysfunction/Benign Positioning Vertigo Hands-On Training Course

The first part of the class is a detailed discussion of the anatomy and physiology of the Temporomandibular Joint, as well as all causes of its dysfunction. We will cover a step-by-step evaluation of the soft tissues in the suboccipital, temporal, and TMJ areas. This part of the class finishes with a step-by-step application of the Medical Massage protocol to eliminate tension in the soft tissues that control TMJ function and to decompress the joint itself, restoring the patient’s normal bite.

The second part of the class explains the complex chain of events that triggers Positioning Vertigo and presents highly effective Semont’s Protocol to eliminate it by resetting otoliths in the inner ear.

SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1: Medical Massage Protocol for Rotator Cuff Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

Injury or tension within the rotator cuff muscles, or Rotator Cuff Syndrome (RCS), is a leading cause of Adhesive Capsulitis, also known as Frozen Shoulder (FS). Rehabilitation of the full-blown FS is a very complex and lengthy process, and very frequently, the patients end up with very controversial surgeries. That is why the correct management of RCS is a vital therapy that prevents debilitating complications.

During the class, we discuss the complex anatomy and physiology of the shoulder joint, step-by-step evaluation of each component of the rotator cuff mechanism, and examination of humeral-scapular rhythm.

Finally, in the hands-on part of the class, we will discuss the Medical Massage Protocol for the treatment of Rotator Cuff Syndrome.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Tensor Fasciae Lata Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

This 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.

Day 3: Medical Massage Protocol for Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow/Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

The first part of the class covers widespread abnormalities in the function of the elbow, Lateral Epicondylitis a.k.a Tennis Elbow, and Medial Epicondylitis a.k.a Golfer’s Elbow. The nature of the abnormalities, as well as the evaluation of the soft tissues of the elbow and the corresponding Medical Massage protocols, are discussed in detail. Homework for patients, as well as future preventive measures, are presented.

The second part of the class is dedicated to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. We discuss the differences between local and reflex variants of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, soft-tissue evaluation, and the Medical Massage protocol for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Homework for patients and future preventive measures are also discussed.
