STAMINA® Orthopedic Massage Courses offered post-graduate for Massage Therapists

STAMINA® Orthopedic Massage evolved from STAMINA® Rehabilitation Therapy. During clinical practice utilizing STAMINA® Rehabilitation Therapy, therapists noted a pattern of sudden instability and weakness, often with increased crepitus and hypertonus, in patients who recently had traditional massage sessions. Determined to resolve the problem, careful analysis led to a solution.
It became apparent that muscles can easily be moved into or out of alignment using even light pressure. Just by changing the direction muscle fibre is moved the outcomes can be dramatically improved. Therefore, it was essential to incorporate this knowledge into all styles of massage. When this was done in our clinical trials, patients improved and retained the benefits of the massage for longer periods.
In addition to the common benefits derived from conventional massage, STAMINA® Orthopedic Massage achieves joint and soft tissue decompression through functional testing and alignment of 37 stabilizing load management musclesTM for improved strength and function. This new method will help pave the way for a more significant role of massage therapists in rehabilitative medicine.

Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy
Common Treatment Protocols
STAMINA Charting Methodology
In addition to improved assessment and treatment techniques for massage therapists, for the first time we have a common language of assessment and treatment protocols that bridge both Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy. Supportive communication and team work is of great benefit to both patients and health care providers.
