Advanced techniques
A 4 hour class is offered every Saturday morning in Advanced techniques. In these we will discuss different pathologies and the anatomy/physiologyrelating to them and the area we will be working on. Each week we will also learn a mini routine using advanced techniques in one specific area of the body. Some of the modalities that are included in advanced techniques are:
- Trigger point therapy
- Myofascial release
- Advanced Lomilomi
- Deep tissue massage
- Origin/insertion work
- Neuromuscular Stretch Release
- Lymphatic drainage
- Pregnancy massage
- Gentle passive movement
A 20 hour Lomilomi level one workshop is also included in this portion of the program. Lomilomi is an ancient hawaiian massage/healing modality. A full body massage is learned, along with some theory relating to this modality.
Hands-on supervised massage
A student massage clinic is offered to the public so that the students can work on different body types with different 'conditions'. With each client there will be individual instruction depending on the needs of the client, including assessment, application of techniques and home care (i.e. stretches or hydrotherapy). The hours for these clinics are flexible, designed to work with individual students schedules.
Sanitation
Students will be instructed in the Hawaii State laws regarding sanitation, and will then be responsible for adhering to them whilst in clinic.
Office procedures
The many faceted approach to running a private business will be discussed and modeled. The paperwork involved, client rapport, accounting, answering the phone and taxes are some of the areas that will be covered.
Record keeping
Clients are asked to fill out an intake form at their first massage, and students are responsible for keeping history notes for each session. These forms are used to discuss clients and the approach to current and future sessions.
NCBTMB exam
(optional classes offered as needed)Students interested in taking this exam at the completion of their education, will also need to take some additional classes to fill the requirements for that exam. Advanced Anatomy/Physiology and Kinesiology
This 75 hour class will be a continuation of the A/P class from Level I, with a more in-depth look at the body's systems and their inter-relationship to each other, along with continued study on the muscles, bones and body mechanics.Theory of Oriental medicine - (20 hours)
The basics of oriental theory are taught by an Acupuncturist
Advanced class tuition is $50 for each 4 hour class
(currently offering 25 advanced classes - must take at least 10)
Lomilomi will be offered at least once a year, as a weekend workshop
(this is required for employment at most major hotels in Hawaii)
