We recommend students bring their own massage chairs to class only on August 6th (if they have one).  We do have several chairs at the school; however, it is best to practice in your OWN chair if you have one.  There may be maneuvers and techniques that can (or cannot) be performed in your chair; therefore, it is best to train in and on your own.  For those who do not massage chairs, CE Institute LLC will provide you a massage to share chair for the hands-on practice, and we also provides all of the massage tables, lotions and oils necessary for class.  Students must bring 2 sheets, a face cradle cover and 2 hand towels to participate in the hands-on sports event work. Hands-on practice is encouraged, but not required to receive CE credit.

In this combo class taught by Instructors Selena Belisle & Ben Benjamin, PhdD, the majority of your training will be provided with a client seated in a chair.  You can use either corporate on-site massage chairs or a regular seated chair and both.  We will also provide some upper body active assisted stretching that could be conducted either in seated position or on a massage table.

6 CE hours of your training will be chair massage class, we will review some business basics about how to execute a chair massage on-site event on your own plus the common supplies required for a proper, proficient and business-building chair massage operation.   Class includes instructor demonstration plus student practice and receipt of hands-on chair massage techniques that can be used for the “general public”.  We will review chair massage contraindications plus scientific research that shows the benefits of chair massage application. Several different chair massage hands-on sequences will be taught during this day of training.

The other 6 CE hours of this course will be an intensive, mostly hands-on experience. We will teach you a comprehensive, effective stretching protocol for the upper body. Active Assisted Active Assisted Stretching (AAS) energizes the body, enhances the health of the tissues, increases flexibility, protects the body from injury, enhances the healing process, re-aligns the fascia and makes building strength more effective. Active Assisted Stretching is especially good for athletes, the elderly, and the injured, and can also benefit the neurologically impaired.

What sets AAS apart from other stretching routines is it is not overly strenuous to the practitioner and it is easy to learn.

The client actively participates in the stretching process, with a gentle, timed, targeted assist from the therapist at the end of every stretch to increase range of motion along with many other benefits. These techniques are much easier on the therapist’s body than massage and bodywork. During this workshop you will practice every stretch along with instructor demonstrations, at your own-pace.

The upper body stretches include the neck, shoulders, arms, wrists and hands.
