Massage Tools to Help Your Hands

SUBJECT:
Massage Tools to Help Your Hands

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Massage Tools to Help Your Hands – 4 CE Hours - NCBTMB approved
Register before Aug 8, 2014 pay $80, After $95
Massage therapists who generally do not like using massage tools in their practice love this class and discover tools they can’t live without! In this fun and useful class therapists use the open palm method to achieve deeper penetrating pressure on their clients without exerting more force with the hands. Participants experiment giving and receiving massage using a variety of the latest massage tools (as well as old favorites) before making the investment. Some tools are to be used only over clothing (“back rollers”, “jack knobber”, “spiky balls”, “Magic Massager”, “Aqua Relief Pad”), some are to be used with a lubricant on bare skin (“antler”, “snail”), and others are dual purpose tools (“Thumbby”, “octopus”, “turtle”) which can be used with or without oil as well as for self-massage. You are encouraged to bring your own tools to possibly gain additional strokes or to learn how to properly handle and “not grip” them. The goal is for you to have less muscular discomfort after using these tools and to find a tool or two to add to your massage offerings to further benefit your clients and enhance your business.
