Matt Michaud,
LMT: Business 101 - They Didn't Teach Me That In School
Business 101 for massage therapists is a
great course and you can receive 2 CEU's. It is impossible to take all the knowledge that a small business owner learns over the course of ten years and condense it into a 2 hour workshop. Yet is amazing to study and learn what other small business owners have in common with people inside the massage industry. Doctors, dentists and even massage therapists are highly skilled in health care, but not as savvy in business operations. Learning about business development is fun as long as we stay open to laughing at our mistakes, understanding them, and working to grow. It is fun to learn about business when it is taught in a specific workshop just for massage.. For more information visit

Mark Bigelow,
LMT: The Muscular Contribution to Bulging and Herniated
Discs
This special two hour presentation will help you recognize the difference between a disc problem and a simple muscular problem. The symptoms are obvious if you know what to look for. Various displays are used so that you can understand the hydraulic movement of disc material, how it is displaced, how it becomes damaged, and also how to recentralize disc material when a protrusion has occurred by using the very same forces in reverse that originally caused the problem. This information will dramatically change the quality of life for any who suffer from occasional or on-going cervical or lumbar disc problems. Self-help techniques and client protocols will be discussed and demonstrated.
Lifting and movement patterns will be analyzed, plus the reasons to avoid stretching and many McKenzie exercises that are incorrectly prescribed for those with disc herniations.
