Clinical Studies
with Joyce GassJoyce Gass
 
Enrollment is now open for our Clinical Studies course.  This course gives graduates of the 150 Hour Massage Technician program an opportunity to utilize their tools and techniques in a clinical setting.  Class time includes discussion of the client/therapist relationship, communication, refinement of body mechanics and massage techniques, self-care and specific feedback to issues encountered in the clinic experience.  The practical hands-on experience in the clinic will solidify and encourage students to discover their strengths and work with their challenges.  Students will enhance and build their confidence, feel empowered to cultivate their professionalism and develop a unique artistry in their work.  This course is on-going giving students the opportunity to begin their 30 hour requirement at any time.  Clinic hours will be held at the IPSB Massage Clinic in Santa Monica.

The neck makes the trade off of increased mobility for decreased stability.  Perhaps this is why it's such a common sight of strain and discomfort.  This class is devoted to alleviating neck pain and the restoration of normal range of motion.  Direct and indirect technique manipulation styles (away from and into the barrier, respectively) will be explained, demonstrated and practiced.  Structural-Craniosacral considerations, self-help and personal ergomomics will be discussed
