SEMINAR PROGRAM

Day 1: Medical Massage Techniques. Hands-On Training Course

Studying and practicing medical massage without a firm scientific understanding of Basic Medical Massage techniques and their clinical application is impossible.

We will cover the science behind clinical variations of Medical Massage techniques developed by the Western School of MT. Some of the presented techniques can be used during full-body massage sessions to build a successful preventive massage therapy practice.

Day 2: Medical Massage Protocol for Anterior Scalene Muscle Syndrome/Thoracic Outlet Hands-On Training Course

The Anterior Scalene Muscle Syndrome (ASMS) is nicknamed the “Silent Killer” in somatic medicine. In clinical reality, ASMS can quietly trigger everything from Headaches to Middle Back Pain and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. To isolate and quickly decompress the ASM means controlling the many pathological conditions in the upper body.

During this course, we will discuss the unique pathology of ASMS, its evaluation, identification, and an effective treatment protocol that decisively eliminates anterior neck tension and decompresses the brachial plexus.

Day 3: Medical Massage Protocol for Iliopsoas Muscle Syndrome Hands-On Training Course

Aside from causing lower back pain and various visceral dysfunctions in the abdominal cavity, the tension in the Iliopsoas Muscle is a significant contributor to anterior thigh, knee, and leg pain. This pain is due to compression of the femoral and/or obturator nerves in the femoral and obturator canals. SOMI is proud to offer a new hands-on class on evaluating and treating tension in the Iliopsoas Muscle.

A correctly formulated treatment protocol is not only effective but also safe, focusing on correcting the misconceptions about iliopsoas muscle work through the abdominal cavity. Many educators advocate this unfortunate practice. We will equip you with the knowledge and skills to avoid unnecessary trauma to the abdominal organs while delivering stable clinical results, ensuring the safety and confidence of both you and your patients.
