Description
Course Description:
This workshop is a multi-level approach and focuses on four interrelated areas and syndromes where dysfunctions occur.:
- TOXICITY
- CIRCULATION / LYMPHATIC FLOW
- IMMUNE SYSTEM
- INFLAMMATION (inside/outside)
First, the theory of circulatory/lymphatic disorders are examined from a Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective. Secondly, a hands-on approach is used where the modalities of a. acupressure b. essential oils c. cupping and c. manual lymphatic drainage (Vodder style) are used in sequence. Thirdly, visceral manipulation is used on organs like the Spleen (the largest lymphatic gland).
The result is a synergistic blend that is systemic and holistic in the outcome. Results are deep and long-lasting because many physiological systems, like the endocrine system and not just the muscular or circulatory system, are addressed.
The goal and outcome for the student is as follows:
- Evaluate the signs and symptoms of the client who has: Toxicity (emotional and physical), circulatory/lymphatic disorders, inflammation, and immune system weaknesses
- Compare the benefits of treatments involving acupressure, essential oils, cupping and manual lymphatic drainage
- Identify and distinguish important acupressure points and meridians involved in healing inflammations, circulatory disorders, toxicity and weak immune systems
- Set up a protocol and perform a blend of treatments that include acupressure, essential oils, cupping and manual lymphatic drainage
- Evaluate results and compare with conditions before and after
- Perform preventive maintenance
The results are as follows:
- Better emotional well-being and grounding
- Less or no inflammations (inside and outside), very little or no pain
- Less or no swelling/edema or skin discolorations (the skin is the largest organ of elimination), because of circulatory/lymphatic disorders, toxicity, inflammations, medicines, etc.
- Better mental alertness, focus
This modality is applied first for a chronically ill client who not only has myofascial pain and dysfunctions, but evidence of systemic disorders. Massage Therapists, Estheticians, Reiki Healers and Nurses can all benefit from learning this holistic approach. Participants will be able to apply this therapy in a variety of practices, like spa and resort body treatments, sports massage facials, rehabilitation, medical massage and more.
Participants are asked to bring: Set of linens. Participants are recommended to wear comfortable clothing, sports tops, shorts, etc.
