Compression and Mobilizations
Compression and mobilization are excellent methods of initiating the body's amazing capacity to repair and balance itself. Compression and mobilization can be used to help the nervous system to pinpoint and understand the location of all of our structures. This information can than be used by the body to reset structures to their optimum arrangements. Students will learn to apply these NRT techniques and identify the immediate results. We will also look at applying compression and mobilizations for relaxation, sports related massage and as an effective stand-alone technique.

Students will learn to reset the natural alignment of the lower back by releasing muscular tension.
Students will reduce muscle spasm and tension by employing positional release methods including creating specific body positions that soften and release specific trigger points.

Introduction to Chapman's Reflexes
Many painful conditions and symptoms encountered by Massage Therapists and Bodyworkers don't cha |
therapeutic effectiveness and further develop their professional skills. The Integrative Healing Institute also offers techniques that are easy on the hands. Monthly massage continuing education classes in San Antonio are available throughout the year. We rotate a number of different massage continuing education course classes throughout the year.
Through the capable hands of an experienced NRT therapist a dysfunctional sensor may be repaired within 10 to 90 seconds. The body begins to release spasm, restore normal muscle tone, increase circulation, remove pressure on nerves and joints move more freely. No painful techniques are ever necessary with NRT. Most acute conditions respond quickly within one to three sessions.
