Active Isolated Stretching: FoundationsInstructor: Paul John Elliott, LMT, cAIS Instr.The AIS workshops and seminars are created to illustrate how an individual can stretch properly without endangering the joints, muscles or connective tissue. In addition, the courses are designed to explain how one may safely assist others in the stretching process. Active Isolated Stretching promotes functional and physiological restoration of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints, ultimately optimizing a body’s range of motion. This seminar will provide an in-depth overview of a body’s Range Of Motion and flexibility. The participant will learn Self-Stretching techniques as well as how to safely assist and teach another in the same stretching process. AIS Is a safe and effective method that will enhance any therapists existing modalities, empowering both the therapist and client. This will be achieved through 20% lecture and demonstration, and 80% practice amongst participants. Active Isolated Stretching and Strengthening has been developed through thousands of hours of teaching, research and clinical application. Complete course can be taken in two weekends… January 21 & 22, 2012 or April 28 & 29, 2012 Register and pay by January 6 or April 13, 2012~ $400.00 Register and pay after January 6 or April 13, 2012 ~ $425.00 7 ceus per 2-day course – Category A …or in three days October 12, 13 & 14, 2012 Register and pay by September 28, 2012~ $650.00 Register and pay after September 28, 2012 ~ $700.00 10.5 ceus – Category A
Dynamic Posture ... Parts I & IIInstructor: Katerina Pek, MD (cz), MTPart I - Two Dates - February 4 & 5, 2012 or September 29 & 30, 2012 Specializing in treatment of pain by improving posture and activity of core muscles. You will understand neuro-physiological principles of CNS control of posture and movement; relationship between posture – movement – core muscles - muscle strength – muscle tension and pain. You will learn to properly activate the core musculature anywhere, anytime using basic functional whole body exercises. You will be taught how to best convey this knowledge to your clients (patients) Dynamic Posture Course is a ”must” for anyone interested in teaching therapeutic exercises to clients (patients). Dynamic Posture is a revolutionary European approach based on the newest findings in human kinetics. It presents to you an astonishingly simple yet profoundly efficient way to improve posture and mobility, to achieve joint alignment and to alleviate pain. Functional exercises using principles of Dynamic Posture focus on improving function of the deep stabilizing system (the core muscles) as it plays a crucial role in retaining stability of posture and coordinated movement. Registration due by January 20 or September 14, 2012~ $410.00 Part II - October 27 & 28, 2012 This second course on Dynamic Posture is a continuum of the first one. It refines the knowledge of the principles of deep stabilization, and more in depth teaches the subject. Usage of the Thera band and unstable surface ( gym balls, overballs, ..) is introduced. What makes Dynamic Posture unique? Dynamic Posture is a revolutionary European approach to movement re-education. It presents an astonishingly simple yet profoundly efficient way to improve posture, movement and fitness performance. Registration due by October 12, 2012~ $410.00

Restoring Mobility the clavicle Instructor: Randal Persad, Dip, Pharm., RMT Two Dates - May 5 & 6, 2012 or October 13 & 14, 2012 The clavicle is the most commonly fractured bone in the body. Its role and function in shoulder function and stability is often over looked by many practitioners including massage therapists, physiotherapists and medical doctors. It is very common for the practicing RMT to work with several clients a day who present with shoulder discomfort. Treatment approaches vary from GH joint mobilization, to Swedish massage to myofascial release. While all these approaches are beneficial, what is often missed are the ligamentous and myofascial attachments of the clavicle. This workshop brings an increased awareness and focus to the clavicle, it’s role in glenohumeral movement and the structures associated with it. It will also provide hands on practice and guidelines for working with connective tissue structures that are important for clavicular mobility. Clavicular immobility is commonly associated with conditions such as frozen shoulder, painful arc syndrome, post clavicular fracture, subacromial bursitis, rotator cuff tendonitis and other shoulder pathologies.

Dimensional Massage Therapy Techniques for Soft-tissue Conditions of the Forearm, Hand and WristInstructor: Nancy Dail, BA, LMT, NCTMBOctober 20 & 21, 2012 The body is all connected. It has depth, width, and length. The joints in the body provide a network of anatomical structures designed for regular use. Repetitive actions cause a constant torque on our guy-wire tendons and muscles that enable our joints to function. How many of your clients have repetitive action conditions of the forearm, hand and wrist? Consider a Dimensional approach to this vast area of concern! In this workshop participants will explore, evaluate and treat a variety of common difficult conditions affecting the forearm, hand and wrist region. Nancy will lecture on the skeletal and neurological anatomy of the upper extremity, with particular emphasis on the brachial plexus and its distal destinations. She will also address the specific etiologies, signs, symptoms and massage treatments related to the pathologies of these areas. She will demonstrate hands-on evaluation techniques designed to assess the pathologies discussed. Special attention will be given to discuss the history and exam findings that would warrant health professional referral. Nancy will provide by lecture and power point review of the muscles and soft tissue structures of the arm, forearm, hand, and wrist. She will discuss trigger points, and referred pain patterns and repetitive actions that affect the wrist. Nancy will demonstrate techniques used in Dimensional Massage Therapy and provide supervision for hands-on practice by participants. Dimensional Massage Therapy techniques are deep tissue strokes and methods that have been designed to balance joints by working on all the muscles that produce, assist in, or oppose the actions of, or stabilize the joints. They include a wide variety of dual-hand techniques, elliptical movement of soft tissues, active engagement techniques and determining the appropriate sequence for forearm, wrist, or hand conditions.
