Description

Shiatsu and Crossfiber® Techniques: An integrative approach for common Neck and Shoulder problems, using Acupoints, Qi exercises, and Crossfiber Corrective Muscle Therapy® Techniques

Saturday, June 2, 2012 – 9am-5pm

6 hours CEU credits for Texas LMTs

Cost: $95.00

Instructors Pam Ferguson and Janine Ray will combine their respective specializations in Shiatsu and Medical Massage Therapy to address common neck and shoulder problems caused by trauma, whiplash, excessive computer use, poor posture, and stress. This workshop will be useful for L.Acs, ABTs, LMTs, DCs and  PTs.  A knowledge of the meridian system is useful but not essential.  Both instructors are approved Texas CE Providers in Massage Therapy. All techniques will be practiced in chairs and on tables. Participants are advised to wear loose comfortable clothing suitable for stretching and exercises (sweat suits or yoga pants and shirt, and socks), and to bring their own sets of sheets.
