Myofascial Skills: Cranial, Shoulder, Pelvis, & Upper

You will learn instructional skills on how to "coach" your client to be an active participant during the massage session as well as ten basic self-care measures to share with your client.

Aromatherapy Basics
This course provides the foundational information and skills you need to understand how and why essential oils work so well. You will learn about specific essential oils, aromatic techniques, and basic layering application methods used in aromatherapy.

Raindrop Technique
Unique, holistic method that helps restore balance to all levels of the body. Sacred and incredibly therapeutic delivery of essential oils inspired by the Native American belief that raindrops falling from a height may purify and cleanse the body and spirit. Because the essential oils easily penetrate the skin and muscles, the technique works on deep levels of the body without requiring hard pressure or force.

Cupping For Massage
One of the most amazing aspects of this technique is the "separation" that the vacuum produces in tissue layers. This enables water absorption and renewed blood flow to undernourished and dehydrated waste and congestion.

Sports Massage
Improve cardio-pulmonary efficiency with clear contraindications, approaches to address rotator cuff and anterior cruciate ligament problems, easy-to-implement, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques, methods to correcting leg-length discrepancies, reciprocal inhibition, and much more.

Scar Tissue Massage
The massage techniques and practices covered in this class focus on the connective tissue processes of would healing, both post-surgery and post-injury. This includes the energy dynamics of scar tissue remodeling.
More Classes Available

Quality Education For Practicing LMTs
As techniques and modalities improve, it's important to keep learning in order to provide the best healing and stay current as a licensed massage therapist. With the help of RVC, our massage therapy continuing education classes give you access to the latest information and education by highly trained, nationally recognized, and practicing instructors.
As a Bodycraft Wellness LMT student, you will also have access to live webinars for topics including:

Tensegrity & Bodywork
Chronic patterns involve the entire body while at the same time having local phenomena. While each individual is organized uniquely, there are commonalities to these forces based on the principles of a tensegrity-based structure. In this webinar, learn about tensegrity principles and how they relate to the concept of working deeply into tissue layers without having to apply heavy pressure.

Self-Care for Massage Therapists
Improve your flexibility, strength, and length of your career by focusing on self-care. In this webinar, learn how to develop a system of self-care and focus on body mechanics that will allow you to function as an aggressive, structural massage therapist for your entire career.

Philosophical Physiology
As we see the body and mind merge into "body-mind", the physiology of tissues in the process of functioning becomes organized and governed by emotions, enabled through proprioception. Since our emotions play out within our own philosophies, this webinar explores how we connect our values through our perceptions to our emotions through our unconscious mind to our proprioceptors, muscle tone, and collagen fiber /fascial structure.
