NISABasic Course (28 hours)

NISA is a deep tissue technique that works directly on the fascia of the body. It provides long lasting changes to chronic postural habits, and most clients feel increased ROM and less restriction after one or two treatments.

NISA is a softer, more gentle derivative of Rolfi ng, and can be performed in individual treatments or in a specifi c series of twelve weekly sessions with a direct focus of improving the person’s posture.

The four day basic training is an intensive, practical, hands-on workshop. The entire body will be covered, and the tech-niques can easily be incorporated into your massage practice.Pre-requisites: must be a practicing massage therapist.

Vancouver - Happening right before the Third International Fascia Research Congress!

Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® Workshops(also known as SDTT)

(Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® should not be confused with high pressure treatments)

Originated and developed by Armand Ayaltin DNM, RHT, RMT, and taught by him since the late 1980’s. It consists of its own scientifically-based philoso-

phy, therapist-friendly assessment and treatment. To reduce burn-out, body and hand postures are ergonomically designed. Therapy takes its cue directly from the assessment. This innovative procedure is designed to minimize the mental and physical stress of the Tx room.

In these Workshops we will teach: Philosophy and background How to treat the underlying cause of pain, often realizing quick and lasting results How to Structurally Realign the body by collapsing the compensatory-matrix, using specific SDTT techniques at the physical and energetic levels which are:

recognizing the compensatory-matrix engaging the SNS manipulating the Fascial-muscle-joint systems therapeutic intent treating the relevant meridians stimulating the patient’s quantum field of healing

If as a Therapist, gaining self-confidence, self-sufficiency and effectiveness with reduced chances of self-injury is important, taking these workshops and adopt-ing the Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® is for you.Testimonials:“Thank you so much for this amazing workshop. It will change my life!” W.M. RMT.“This course surpassed my expectations...” B.C. RMT.“ Thank goodness there is a way to read the body and respond to its core needs.” J.W. RMT.

“ Great coverage of biomechanics and application. I like these instructors, cool guys” J.L. RMT.

“With 16 years of massage therapy experience I was still expecting to learn some-thing new- those expectations were exceedingly met. The assessment approach alone was enough of a refreshing perspective- with the addition of completely new hands on techniques, this course was thoroughly worth my time and would recommend it to any seasoned therapist. Excellent course, nothing but praise for these innovative and effective techniques that match a thoroughly progressive treatment philosophy, this is truly Massage THERAPY!” Brad Dow RMT.Spring 2012 – Introductory: 15-16th September 2012, 13-14th October 2012; Intermediate: March 24-25, Cost: $399.
