Most massage
therapists are well aware of the breathing issues of many of their clients
and many admit to needing working knowledge as to how to best address
breathing development. Michael G. White is
approved
by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB)
as a continuing education provider under category A.
Professional Massage Practitioner As Somatic Educator
Opportunities for
massage therapists who are trained to work in clinical environments
are rapidly increasing within the health care profession. For those
who prefer private practice, the ability to treat patient musculo-skeletal, neurological
and
psychosomatic disorders helps the massage therapist to develop and
maintain a strong economic basis.
Clearly, changing the breathing affects or controls functioning in the
neo-cortex, limbic system, vagus
nerve, autonomic nervous system,
and all basic bodily functions and subtle energy systems. By appropriately
and sensitively incorporating breathing development into a massage session,
this can facilitate an incredible
opportunity for empowerment and personal growth for both client and
therapist. When it comes to safe, accurate breathing development, an experienced
teacher or guide is indispensable.
The professional massage practitioner, as somatic educator, is in an excellent position to help clients regain full breathing capacity and aliveness, while simultaneously adding to the respect of a most healing and empowering art form and science.
Sub-Clinical As Well As Those Factors Unaccepted By Mainstream MedicineWe know that the average person reaches
peak respiratory function and lung capacity in their mid 20's. Then
they begin to loose respiratory capacity: between 10% and 27% for every
decade of life! So, unless you are doing something to maintain or
improve your breathing capacity, it will decline, and with it, your
general health, your life expectancy, and for that matter, your spirit as
well.
By the time traditionally diagnosed respiratory dysfunction presents, most
have lost a majority of their breathing. What was occurring from 100% to 50%. HOW
DOES THAT INFLUENCE MANY OTHER TENDENCIES TOWARD DISEASE.
It may not always be possible to identify the underlying causes of the
problem, but often a number of
contributory factors can be identified
not the least of which is
psychosomatic disorder
We
believe it is preferable to reduce the overall burden on the body using
established massage therapist techniques augmented with Optimal Breathing.
