SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1: Medical Massage Techniques. Hands-On Training Course

Studying and practicing medical massage without a firm scientific understanding of Basic Medical Massage techniques and their clinical application is impossible.

We will cover the science behind clinical variations of Medical Massage techniques developed by the Western School of MT. Some of the presented techniques can be used during full-body massage sessions to build a successful preventive massage therapy practice.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Anterior Scalene Muscle Syndrome/Thoracic Outlet Hands-On Training Course

The Anterior Scalene Muscle Syndrome (ASMS) is nicknamed the “Silent Killer” in somatic medicine. In clinical reality, ASMS can quietly trigger everything from Headaches to Middle Back Pain and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. To isolate and quickly decompress the ASM means controlling the many pathological conditions in the upper body.

During this course, we will discuss the unique pathology of ASMS, its evaluation, identification, and an effective treatment protocol that decisively eliminates anterior neck tension and decompresses the brachial plexus.

Day 3: Medical Massage Protocol for Iliopsoas Muscle Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

Aside from causing lower back pain and various visceral dysfunctions in the abdominal cavity, the tension in the Iliopsoas Muscle is a significant contributor to anterior thigh, knee, and leg pain. This pain is due to compression of the femoral and/or obturator nerves in the femoral and obturator canals. SOMI is proud to offer a new hands-on class on evaluating and treating tension in the Iliopsoas Muscle.

A correctly formulated treatment protocol is not only effective but also safe, focusing on correcting the misconceptions about iliopsoas muscle work through the abdominal cavity. Many educators advocate this unfortunate practice. We will equip you with the knowledge and skills to avoid unnecessary trauma to the abdominal organs while delivering stable clinical results, ensuring the safety and confidence of both you and your patients.

Course Overview

This Intro course is an introduction on how spine & sacrum control the ANS system, which therapies enhance our health (HRV) and to identify stress-activating pathologies that are inhibiting your patient outcomes.At this seminar, you will learn how to integrate cellular-changing microcurrent with acupuncture, osteopathy and modern neurology techniques to isolate nerves, muscles & fascia influencing the core of the body for published 80% pain relief and 30% stress-reduction.

A Breakthrough Approach to Chronic Pain Relief

Chronic pain affects millions, yet traditional treatments often fall short. Studies show that 80% of pain-related healthcare costs stem from neuromyofascial pain, making noninvasive, effective solutions more critical than ever.

Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) Therapy is a revolutionary, science-backed technique designed to reset the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and relieve pain at its source. By integrating ANS techniques with Central and Peripheral Nervous System therapies, MPS offers a powerful, drug-free alternative to traditional pain management.

SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1: Chronic Headache and Migraine. Hands-On Training Course

This class takes students through all aspects of Chronic Tension Headache and Migraines, from clinical evaluation of the soft tissues and local pathology to step-by-step treatment using the Medical Massage Protocol.

This Medical Massage protocol is recognized and currently used in several hospitals, including world-renowned clinical and scientific institutions such as the Barrow Neurological Institute. Several of our students have built their entire practice around the clinical effectiveness of Medical Massage Protocols for Chronic Headaches.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Lower Back Pain Hands-On Training Course

Lower Back Pain is a general name for many syndromes that contribute to this widespread pathology. In other words, it is a multifaced enemy. Clinical success depends on the ability of the therapist to correctly identify and target the initial triggers rather than secondary syndromes, which are frequently the most prominent.

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

Day 3: Medical Massage Protocol for Soft Tissue Trauma/Leg Compartment Syndrome/ Plantar Fasciitis Hands-On Training Course

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.

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

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.

Tactile Vision

The Knee

In this class, anatomy moves into your hands.

By building a knee out of clay from the bones outward, layer by layer, you develop tactile vision, the ability to recognize balance, restriction, and distortion through touch, not just knowledge.

This hands-on process bridges anatomy and clinical work, supporting clearer assessment and more precise technique.

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.”

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.

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).

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.
