Distilling 28 years of clinical expertise into three intensive Saturdays, this series is designed to provide the specific "pearls" of wisdom that only decades of practice can provide. Choose to attend the full 24-hour transformation or select the specific 8-hour module your practice needs most: May 30 | The Upper Cross: Targeted protocols for the Neck, Jaw, and Shoulder. June 20 | The Hip and Low Back: Deep dive into the Low Back, Hip, and SI Joint. July 25 | The Foundation: Functional release for the Lower Leg, Foot, and Ankle. This class focuses on the "Ground-Up" approach to body alignment by examining how the feet and lower legs serve as the foundation for the entire kinetic chain. We will address the fascia of the lower leg and the intrinsic muscles of the foot to help with issues like plantar fasciitis and ankle instability. Because the feet are the base of support, the course also explores how foot alignment affects the rest of the body, including the hips and shoulders. By working to stabilize the base, therapists can help ease compensatory strain and tension all the way up the spine. This is Michelle’s final series at NMSM before she retires from massage instruction to begin her residency at Wilson Middle School this August. Whether you are a new graduate or a seasoned therapist, don't miss this final opportunity to study the "Shaw Method" of Neuromuscular Therapy before she hangs up her holster for the classroom.
