Class Description:
This course is designed to help manual therapists gain a greater understanding into the most up-to-date research around fascia, pain, touch stimulus and how these concepts interact with the brain.  We delve into the idea of neuroplasticity and how it is that manual therapists can take advantage of this connection to help reeducate the bodies movement and pain patterns.  We explore the relationship that these systems have with both hyper and hypotoncity as well as how neuroplasticity can be integrated into treatment for all ages.

What to Bring and attire :
Wear comfortable clothes to be on and off the massage tables. Bring your massage table, sheets, lubricant, a pen, and a water bottle.   

Please arrive 15 minutes the first day to register and set up.

We welcome all NYS licensed massage therapists, NYS professionals who are licensed to provide massage (physicians, nurses, podiatrists, physical therapists, chiropractors) and currently enrolled massage therapy students to our classes. Per New York State law, you must either have a New York State license to participate in the hands-on portions or, in the case of massage therapy students, be directly supervised by your instructor or other licensed massage therapist.
