Instructor: Jason Abbey, LMT
This 8 hour hands-on CE class is inspired by eastern Table Thai Massage* and blended with western stretch therapies as well as the powerful healing affects of a hand-held percussion massager. The percussion massager provides deep and targeted percussive therapy to all types of soft tissue in the body and is the perfect tool for chronically tense muscles, scar tissue, adhesions and injuries of all kinds.
At the end of this class, you will be able to offer a one hour lubricant-free treatment consisting of table thai (including some active isolated stretching and passive positional release techniques) paired with the percussive massage. This versatile fusion of techniques is perfect for use in sport massage, gyms & fitness facilities, group classes, as well as traditional massage spaces with your clients either fully clothed or disrobed under a sheet.
This easy and intuitive Thumb Saver class is designed for therapists in any level of experience to help save your thumbs and hands as well as expand your practice to include treatments appropriate for group and indoor/outdoor public events. Setup your table at sporting events, health fairs, or even at your favorite gym -- as well as incorporate it into your regular practice.
Percussion massagers will be supplied for student use in the classroom.
* Table Thai incorporates effective traditional thai massage philosophies for deep and satisfying stretches while allowing the massage therapist to keep both feet on the floor. The best part is is this routine doesn't require a mat or special equipment, works well on your massage table and can be easily integrated into any massage.
