Swedish Massage versus Clinical Bodywork as a Career Choice

Our Clinical / Medical Massage Therapy & Structural Bodywork training is a very different therapeutic discipline compared to Swedish, relaxation, spa, or other Asian or “energy” related therapies. We are primarily focused on Western, science-based and medical approaches for the millions of people suffering from acute and chronic pain, injury and trauma related issues.

We also provide you with skills for achieving optimum physical performance of the neuro-musculo-fascial & joint system for clients such as athletes, construction workers, musicians and others who use their bodies in their work or other activities on a frequent or daily basis.

There is also the effect of excess muscle tension and stress on the aging process. Teaching and faciitating clients how to feel, relax, lengthen and balance their muscles can have a profound effect on reducing the aging efeects of C.E.M.&.N.T. or (Chronic, Excess Muscle & Nerve Tension & Stress)

Just one of countless examples is the dental hygienist who’s sitting in a twisted and distorted body posture under high levels of stress, for many hours every day. Such work produces many muscular imbalances, in turn creating various aches, pains and other dysfunction.

Professional musicians, typists, and others using the same small muscles ever day are also subject to repetitive strain syndrome. Yet most of the time, this is just a matter of “tight muscles,” what we call C.E.M.&.N.T. (or chronic, excess muscle & nerve tension & stress).

And those who are not in pain, yet want better posture, movement, balance and coordination, to feel better in general, will be amazed at the results you produce. There is an entire market in corporate and industrial America for working with clients who must sit in front of computers or run machinery all day long, suffering from poor posture and repetitive strain injuries.

Our Clinical / Medical Massage Therapy School provides you the ability to understand and effectively identify and manipulate the soft tissues of the body.

Such knowledge is important for the purpose of reducing specific conditions of chronic, excess muscle and nerve tension and stress, contributing to the onset of pain and dysfunction and symptoms of premature aging.

We offer  in-depth examination and understanding of anatomy & kinesiology, helping understand the various causes, symptoms and conditions of neuro-musculo-fascial tension and the principles to reverse that tension and stress.
