******** Advanced Massage Therapy Training
Most massage therapy training courses teach a few common types of massage such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and sports massage. Some practitioners choose to learn advanced techniques to use with their clients. Some of the more popular advanced massage techniques are discussed in this article.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is simple in principle. The therapist performs the long strokes of Swedish massage holding smooth, heated stones. Chakra work may also be incorporated. Training is necessary to ensure that the therapist does not accidentally burn the client or apply too much pressure. Most massage therapy training schools offer weekend workshops in hot stone massage and online courses are also available.
Craniosacral Therapy/SomatoEmotional Release
Craniosacral therapy, developed by Dr. John Upledger, involves gentle touch to the head and neck with the goal of bringing the fluids that cradle the brain and spine into balance. According to the Upledger Institute, craniosacral therapy may help to alleviate migraines, fatigue, nervous disorders, neck pain, etc.
Although some massage therapy training programs claim to offer classes in craniosacral therapy, it’s best to choose classes offered through the International Alliance of Healthcare Educators (IAHE). These classes have been developed in conjunction with the Upledger Institute. Before starting out to obtain your CST/SER certification, make sure you’ll have a broad client base—you’ll need to take several four-day courses, and each one will run you over $700.
Rolfing
Rolfing involves manipulating connective tissue (referred to as myofascial structures) to bring them into alignment with gravity. When Rolfing first became popular, it had an unfortunate reputation for being painful, but increasingly gentle techniques make pain during Rolfing a thing of the past. Massage therapy training programs can teach you about Rolfing, but the only way to become a certified Rolfer is to attend the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Certification generally takes one and a half to two years. Again, if you go into this expensive endeavor, you’ll need to ensure that you have a client base to support you after your training is complete.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu involves using stretching and pressure to manipulate the body’s energy flow, much like acupuncture or acupressure. Those who practice Shiatsu claim it can be helpful in reducing stress, improving circulation, regulating blood pressure, and bringing about an overall increase in energy. Many massage therapy training programs offer a brief introduction to Shiatsu, but to become certified, you must take around 700 hours’ worth of classes.
