Reading PA, native, I decided to study massage therapy in NYC at the New York School of Health professions, where I obtained an associate’s degree in science with a major in massage therapy. After 4 years of working in New York as a chiropractic assistant and Massage therapist in the medical setting, I decided to return to reading to be with family. My passion is massage education and the expansion of the medical massage field professionally. At the New York School of Health professions, I graduated first in my class and learned many skills and specialties including, prenatal, floor massage, sports, reflexology, and traditional Chinese medicine.
I love working with people and hope to bring relief, relaxation, and care to all my clients and students.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In this course, Muscular Reactivation Technique, you will learn to refer to a divergent set of techniques to reset proprioceptors of the muscle. In the most general sense, this approach simply encompasses the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, ROM, and muscle tension which are defined as an injury to or dysfunction of locomotor tissues of the musculoskeletal system. Muscular Reactivation Technique has a defined set of components, such as contraction and lack of ROM being able to instant release from those components. Great asset for any massage therapist to execute and see results in only a few minutes.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
1. Students will list The receptors that respond to pressure, velocity, vibration, stretch, and other forces. When receptors detect a change, a signal is sent to the spinal cord and then relayed to the brain.
2. With MRT, the student briefly stimulates the proprioceptors embedded in the selected muscle and tendons by asking for a position to be held or for a movement in a particular direction.
3. The student will be able to use a specific technique on a muscle in such a way as to cause receptors to send a special message to the spinal cord.
4. The student will be able to send using a specific technique, that new message goes through the spinal integrating center which will reset the nervous system so the muscle is optimized neurologically. With the MRT, the muscular pain and tightness disappear within seconds.
5. Explain the approach of the Muscular Reactivation Technique to address muscular conditions. 6. Describe the foundation of neural injuries and patterns of pain.
7. Students will be able to discuss assessment and effective treatment choices.
8. Instruct on the benefits of the Muscular Reactivation Technique.
9. Student will be able to identify the contraindication of the Muscular Reactivation Technique.
10. Explain the importance of assessment in the treatment of soft tissue disorders.
11. Students will be able to describe three or more foundational treatment techniques.
12. Students will be able to apply all the techniques within the scope of practice by identifying the pathologies.
13. Students will introduce deep gliding, static compression, compression broadening, sweeping cross-fiber techniques, deep longitudinal stripping, stretching, and deep friction.
14. Students will be able to discuss clinical reasoning and case study.
15. Students will identify that in your body, there are specialized nerve bundles called mechanoreceptors.
16. Students will be able to apply the MRT by using the ROM goniometric tool.

Our mission is to provide all of the business professionals in the holistic healthcare field with the best, most comprehensive, economical, and comprehensive training at every level. So whether you are just embarking on your career in this exciting industry, or you have been serving our nation’s clients with holistic services for the past thirty years, we have the right program for you.

As we all have grown, we have the opportunity to share our experience and education with all in a hands-on environment. We feel that hands-on education is the most effective way to share and network all of our skills and talents. Our facility is spacious, convenient to all major mid-Atlantic cities and Southeastern Pennsylvania and may accommodate your full staff. Our state of the art equipment, technology, and educational tools will provide optimum access to the most contemporary information on medical massage and traditional massage therapy.

With trends in education for our field moving toward skills, we feel that advanced education is the key to moving toward the future with the right tools and knowledge. We are able to provide you with instruction from NCBTMB and State approved educators with more than 100 years of combined experience. This education cannot be fully shared by taking on the online quiz and downloading your CEU certificate or taking a correspondence course. Although these methods of continuing advanced education do have their advantages of convenience and affordability, we feel that these merits cannot compare to the knowledge that is obtained in a comfortable, personal environment “away” from your office. Doesn’t our industry provide for the public with hands-on services and “personal” contact for services? Yes, it does. Therefore, we see the value in providing education in the same environment. Let’s hope that the online massage is not in the foreseeable future for our clients.

Did we mention economical? Yes, we did. Our credit courses for ABMP, AMTA, NCBTMB and your individual State licensing guidelines (ask us about credentials for other professions) are competitive with the industry. We offer discounts for multiple courses, convenient payment options, and payment plans. We understand the dilemma of taking off a day of work to pay for further education and try to make our schedules and prices accommodating to you. In the Berks County area, further savings are available since you do not have all of the extra travel and lodging expenses that are necessary when you have to travel for your CEUs, on top of missing out on a weekend full of potential clients at your business. Weeknight, weekend and monthly classes available!

All of this and so much more.  Contact us by phone @610.670.6100 or email @ contact@emsom.edu  to schedule your CEU class.
