Massage for Enhanced Respiratory Function – 16 hr Seminar with Dennis Price
Breathing is THE most vital function for both health and longevity, yet most people (when evaluated in depth) have very poor respiratory function. This program will train the therapist to evaluate the client’s breathing. This will include the location of breath, the effort or ease of breathing, rate, depth, pause patterns, and corresponding sympathetic/parasympathetic stimulation patterns. Relative posture and range of motion patterns will also be assessed to create an highly effective treatment plan. The therapist will understand, view demonstration and practice the massage, stretches, neuro-muscular repatterning movements, and strengthening exercises. You will feel a difference in your oun breathing by the end of the training, and you will feel confident you can assist your clients toward greatly improved health and wellness.
