The classroom environment..
Classroom should accommodate 1 massage table ( you provide)
per 2 students with working space around each.
For a joint/clay class, room should also accommodate one
banquet type table per 4 students with working space around
each.( you provide)
800 sq ft is a workable space (bigger is better), with adequate
ventilation and as much natural light as possible.
Appropriate seating...one chair per student.
The room should have one blank wall or large screen on which
to project graphic images.
One banquet type table with nearby power supply to set up
a laptop and Power Point projector approximately 10-15 feet
from screen/wall.
We will require the space from 8:00 to 6:00 each day for
set up and closure.
These are advanced techniques and as such, I require that
each student must have received prior basic massage/bodywork
training. The California state basic is acceptable.
Facilities where courses are held are to be handicap accessible.
When a student calls and identifies himself or herself as
disabled, instructor/sponsor will discuss their needs and
how to best accommodate them in the classroom. Student must
give instructor/sponsor notification of special needs prior
to the beginning of the class allowing adequate time for reasonable
allowances to be made. Allowances for special needs will be
met as long as they do not impose an "undue burden"
on the instructor as listed in the ADA.
I do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion,
sex or national origin.
Facilities where courses are held require adequate parking,
clean restrooms, and nearby restaurants.
Please review my resume for a
brief overview of my background and qualifications
To provide you with a bit more flavor of my work, I suggest reading
my published articles in Massage Magazine and American Fitness
Magazine. I can supply copies for class promotion .These should
heighten technique recognition, class participation, marketability
and public awareness of this highly effective system of massage.
This unique curriculum includes state of the art anatomy presentations
that incorporate Power Point. For example, when I am guiding a
classroom of students thru corrective massage techniques that
address mid thoracic tensions, distortions and adhesions, I project
a life size anatomy graphic which serves as a very useful visual
reference.
Possibly one of Lauren Berry's greatest contributions to Massage
therapy was in recognizing that muscles, tendons and ligaments
have an optimal anatomical position and can be shifted off position
via trauma, adaptation, etc.
Through recognizing, respecting and responding to that functional
organization, therapists can often reduce tension and pain rather
quickly. The Back class provides a powerful introduction to The
Lauren Berry Method® of Corrective Massage, including
both a regional and specific in-depth focus on the specific anatomy
influencing this important and common area of concern.
I suggest we begin with the Back Class, although others are available.
Muscles to be studied will include; Psoas, Biceps Femoris, Quadratus
Lumborum, Obturator Internus, Tensor Fascia Latae, Gracilis, Iliocostalis
Lumborum and Thoracis, Longissimus Thoracis, Sacrotuberous Ligament,
Sartorius, Adductor Magnus....and much more.
Brief Outline for the Back class.
My introduction includes a view of muscle health and the
role of adhesion, distortion and misplacement when the body expresses
stress and tension.
I then go thru approx 20 of the primary muscles frequently involved
in our clients back problems. As each muscle is discussed, the
student has a reference handout that is coordinated with a Power
Point presentation relevant to the muscle being discussed.
With each muscle I present the common tensions, adhesions, distortions
and misplacements associated with that specific muscle. I then
demonstrate techniques and procedures pertinent to each muscle.
These soft tissue manipulation techniques include procedures
for:
Reducing adhesions and distortions
Correcting misplaced muscles
Active and passive stretches
Pin and stretch procedures
Students then go to the massage tables to practice while I go
from table to table guiding them "one on one".
This sequence is followed thru each of the muscles.
The final portion of the class includes practicing on each other
and reviewing the procedures. This formula has served very well
and also allows flexibility within each new group. This format
is also applied throughout The Joint series.
Students emerge from these trainings with an increased degree
of 'tactile vision'.
