Childbearing Cycle "Women are so incredibly strong. The things I learned from your class were so very helpful in preparing me to help my clients. .I just wanted you to know how vital the information you gave to me is. I treasure this knowledge, look forward to expanding on it, and using it to help women in need. Thank you for giving me confidence." ~ Student This
hands-on course emphasizes anatomy and the physiology of pregnancy, the
use of bodywork as an appropriate adjunct to prenatal care, and using
massage as a means of developing deeper kinesthetic awareness in
preparation for labor and birth and postpartum recovery. Films are shown
each day and numerous handouts are provided. The
first day begins with a review of systems through the lens of pregnancy
physiology and structural change. Contraindications, benefits and goals of
bodywork during pregnancy are discussed in detail. Participants will learn
and practice setting up the massage table and draping the client
appropriately with optimal bolstering for each trimester of pregnancy. An
overview of emotional milestones during the three trimesters of pregnancy
and corresponding obstetrical care will be discussed in depth so
participants will have a deeper understanding of the contemporary
experience of pregnancy. Ethics and the role of the massage therapist will
be discussed in this context. The
second day begins with distinguishing between common discomforts and
concerns which require consultation with her midwife or physician. The
focus of the morning is on structural assessment of the client, history
taking and a detailed demonstration. Emphasis is given to working with
areas of tension and myofascial restriction commonly associated with
pregnancy. Each student will have the opportunity to practice with another
student and will have two full hours of practice time with a pregnant
volunteer. The
third day is essential to therapists working with pregnant women: It
emphasizes the legacy of changes inherent in pregnancy, birth, cesarean
surgery, and providing newborn care. Participants will learn about the
physiological and psychological changes following both natural and
surgical birth. Addressing these changes with active listening skills and
bodywork are our focus. Swedish, deep tissue and Kinetic Myofascial
Mobilization techniques will be demonstrated and practiced. In addition,
postural assessment and teaching sound postpartum body mechanics are
covered. Cesarean scar care and adhesion reduction is shown and practiced.
Emotional and social adjustment issues are addressed, as participants may
be in contact with the mother soon after birth. Giving a massage with a
baby at the breast and/or on the table is demonstrated. At
the close of the day, marketing and networking in this specialty will be
discussed in depth. Participants who complete the program will receive
certification. Register at www.swedishinstitute.org or call 212-924-5900 x 143. May 2008 TBA November 2008 TBA In
Your Hands - This class sets the context for understanding recent trends in midwifery and obstetrics, complications of late pregnancy and the stages of labor, birth and postpartum. The in-depth lecture on the anatomy and physiology of labor/birth includes how sex and stress hormones impact and are impacted by the events in the woman’s internal and external environments. Labor complications and appropriate interventions in home, birth center and hospital settings will be examined in detail. We explore being in labor and the experience of bearing witness to labor for various participants. The roles of various labor support companions and clinicians and common protocols will be clarified. We will learn breathing, vocalization and chanting techniques, visualizations, positions for comfort and labor enhancement, and labor massage and shiatsu in various labor positions. Emphasis will be placed on good body mechanics. Videos will be shown and discussed. Numerous handouts will be given. This class meets the requirements for childbirth education classes under Doulas Of North America. "The things I learned from your class were so very helpful in preparing me to help my client. I heard your voice talking me through each new step in the birthing process. The doctor and nurses said they were shocked this was my first time...and I credit that to you. There were no surprises and in fact everything went a million times smoother than I anticipated." ~ Student 1- Day Hands-on Only May 18 2008 10:00-5:00 $150 Swedish Institute College of Massage Therapy Register at www.swedishinstitute.org or call Daniella at 212-924-5900 x 143 Critical

Condon, L.M.T., C.R. Participants will learn powerful myofascial release techniques, direct and indirect, and how to formulate precise, individual treatment strategies. Assessment based on client movements, bony landmarks, tissue tension and component joint movements will be covered. Component movements are small, involuntary movements, present in all synovial joints, which, when dysfunctional, cause restriction and pain. Indirect techniques use inherent joint motion to release capsular and ligamentous restrictions. December
