Master Intensive Institute & Seminars


Introduction

Welcome.  Massage therapists, physical therapists, physicians and nurses.   Improve the health and wealth of your practice for yourself and for your clients.   Each major muscle movement in the body will be covered.  You will learn upper, lower and sideline techniques combined with motion - passive, active, and rocking, which, when applied in the right order, recondition the body's muscles.  You will learn beneficial hand techniques that apply compression, stretching and separation of the muscles to release adhesions in the fascia, clear trigger points, and encourage the joints to move freely.  These techniques will allow you to work through the muscles more effectively and with ease.

Most importantly you will learn to be mindful of your own body, posture and breathing in order to protect yourself from injury and, at the same time, add strength and energy to your therapies.

The KARAMESINES Deep Muscle Therapy© techniques are designed to add longevity to your career by helping you enhance and grow your practice as a professional practitioner.   You will receive both knowledge and support in this endeavor.

With Love and Light,

Christina Karamesines
