Hi all - the MTBOK has included self-care and injury prevention as important parts of the basic body of knowledge that all massage therapists should learn. I've been working for years with schools and educators to help them integrate research-based injury prevention and self-care information into their curricula. I wanted to let you know that we now have a certification program that can help in this regard; in fact, it is the first instructor training program in this subject matter ever introduced.

The Certified Injury Prevention Instructor (CIPI) program gives school instructors the necessary knowledge and skills to teach effective injury prevention in massage school. Instructors learn how to teach these methods in the existing curriculum (including hands-on coaching skills), and also receive a ready-made workshop curriculum they can use to teach this important subject to grads in their CE program. The CIPI program is a 50 CEU training that is affordably priced so as many schools as possible can participate. We already have school instructors signed up to train as CIPIs. We offer continuing education to keep instructors continually learning and deepening their understanding of this complex subject, and ongoing support for the instructor and school.

I hope you will look into this exciting new program. Feel free to contact me personally at info@saveyourhands.com, or contact syhcourses@saveyourhands.com or 877-424-0994 for more information. I look forward to discussing the CIPI program with you further.

Best regards,
Lauriann Greene, CEAS, co-author and CIPI Program Director

Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) Lower Body


Location: Swedish Institute (NYC)Open to Massage Therapists.In this two-day workshop, participants will focus on the lower body (including the feet). We will review muscle action and function, along with AIS principles for stretching clients in a clinical setting. We will explore the deepest tissues of the body with precision and with movements that increase the flow of blood and oxygen to over-contracted and over-stretched tissues. This class is based on Aaron Mattes’ 40 years of experience in soft tissue rehabilitation. We will review some self-help stretching as well as strengthening protocols for therapists’ longevity. If you are working in a clinical environment or want to, this work can change your approach forever.www.spiriphysical.com

Just went through a several hour presentation by ABMP in Nashville, TN. The focus was on teaching Generation Y. So enlightening. They have a great website to give me tools to help my students organize, learn and retain the knowledge.

If you know of any websites that can help educate/protect female therapists from males seeking sexual services, please post here.

Some therapists seem to have completed their courses without being made fully aware of the unfortunate circumstances in which our profession can misunderstood.
