Neuromuscular Therapy - Certificate

Neuromuscular therapy is a system of soft tissue manipulation that addresses the underlying causes of pain, not just the symptoms. An accomplished neuromuscular therapist interprets the effects of postural distortion and dysfunctional biomechanics, reduced circulation, trigger points, nerve impingement and tension, somatovisceral and viscerosomatic reflexes and trauma. These factors can often create irregular activity in the central nervous system that leads to pain and dysfunction. In the course, you will study the physiology of each of these important factors. As a leading massage therapist school, Atlanta School of Massage teaches you to match the physiology of each condition with the physiological effect of your technique. The ability to choose the appropriate massage technique allows our massage therapist school graduates to maximize the effects of their treatment.

Reflexology - Certificate

The reflexology certification course introduces you to a 5,000-year-old method of treatment that is becoming increasingly popular with today's massage and spa clients. Skillfully applying thumb and finger pressure to the feet creates reflex effects that stimulate the natural tendency of the body to re-balance and heal itself. Restoring balance to the body can help relieve stress, relax tension and improve circulation. In our reflexology certification course you will learn to perform a comprehensive reflexology routine, an aromatic reflexology treatment and to integrate the skills into full body massage sessions.
