Introduction to Hands-On Energy Medicine
4 CE Hours – Thursday 3/22/2018 at 1pm-5pm
$72 Member / $100 Non-Member
In this introduction to Hands-On Energy Medicine we will explore and experience how the body receives energy and information, and how this influences the body’s systemic defense and repair mechanisms in ways that promote healing, health and wellness. Students will learn the anatomy of energy structure of the body and palpate said structure to recognize and differentiate between typical hands on massage techniques of tissue verses the deeper subtler regulatory mechanisms of the body. By learning to address all levels of the functionality of the physiological body the massage therapist gains a deeper understanding and awareness of how to best address presenting client concerns. We will explore various energy modalities and how these techniques are preventative rather than, “problem-oriented”, are non-invasive and less costly than many other methods, and how these techniques may be used in conjunction with massage therapy.

There’s no need to be intimidated! You’ll learn what constitutes valid research vs. media hype, what kind of claims to avoid making, where to locate good research, and how to share it. Strategies for sharing research with physicians and other health care providers in order to gain referrals, and how to share research with clients in order to bring in more business will be discussed in this class. If you’re interested as being known as a respected member of the mainstream health care team, this is a great class to get you started. The handouts will include numerous sources to help you locate current and relevant research.
