CLASSES FOR THE PROFESSIONAL

Advanced Massage for Clinical Practice
(300 hour program)

Clinical massage involves the manipulation of soft tissues to resolve acute and chronic pain and dysfunction. Clinical massage also stimulates and supports the therapist’s creativity and desire to be a truly effective healer, allowing the therapist to focus on the individual’s needs.

At Advanced Holistic Healing Arts, we have designed an advanced program that is targeted, comprehensive, and highly valuable. Our program, Advanced Massage for Clinical Practice, is designed to provide the background

and skills to work confidently with clients who are seeking help to reduce pain and movement restrictions. The tools learned in this program are valuable tools for therapists working with clients who have injuries from chronic illness, accidents, or sports, and those working with athletes and “weekend warriors” to prevent injury and achieve peak performance. The Advanced Massage for Clinical Practice program teaches therapists to assess, treat, and evaluate clients. It also provides the tools and skills for clinical support and business success.
