Also that week we have another new class, offered the 3rd time this year and always sells out (sign up soon if you want in!!), Lymphatic Massage with the Beckys! Two teachers, small class size, fantastic opportunity to master this important work. Bradford Nicarry is back with the always popular Bamboo Massage Jan 19-20 and I class I am looking forward to Modern Approaches to Cupping Jan 26. Our 4th new teacher Adam Jellison brings his Jellison method on Jan 20, 21, 22. Adam is also looking to mentor a new practitioner to work alongside him in his practice.

Who benefits from this program? Massage Therapists, Bodyworkers, and other wellness professionals looking to add this exciting and dynamic layer to their practice.
Who this program would NOT be advised for? – those who do not have a massage, bodywork, or hands-on practice and want to be stand-alone personal training in gyms, etc. There are other personal training programs available more suited to that.

Foundations of fitness
Assessment and progress metrics for client
Warm-Up routines
Mobility/Flexibility drills
Functional Strength protocols
Upon Completion you will be able to:
Integrate the strength, fitness, and movement techniques right into your treatment protocols on the table
Train clients in off-the-table corrective postural/strength protocols
Perform/Design pre-treatment warm-up(cardio) programs
Be able to perform the 20/20/20 min warm-up(cardio), corrective exercises, hands-on treatment procedure.
- All the fitness and strength protocols are designed to enhance, support and integrate into your current treatment modalities and design. The warm up cardio portion is low intensity, the strength portion is low impact, safe and specific. Since the program is designed to enhance the hands on treatment, we stay well within fitness, heart rate, intensity, and strength boundaries. The program can absolutely be used for clients who have no outside fitness program, or the program will support an existing fitness program by correcting imbalances, increasing, mobility, flexibility and postural efficiency allowing the client to go further in their fitness routines and performance goals.
Supplemental trainings helpful for this program – good background or training in assisted stretching, cupping and gua sha. If you have this training, great, if not, you may find taking it later will enhance your personal training for bodyworkers certification skills.
