  Katie W. asked:

  Anyone have suggestions on good CE classes? I'm thinking MFR with Walter Fritz - has anyone been to one of his courses? Any other recommendations? (I finished school last Feb, so this will be my first CE course.) Thanks for your suggestions!

  Lyndsey F. asked:

  As a massage student, who will be working in a chiropractic clinic, I have only learned the very basics of deep tissue massage, I am very concerned about the clientele that I will be building...I have struggled in the Kinesiology portion of my learning and am almost positive that majority of the people I will be seeing will be looking for more than a Swedish massage and I know that that knowledge will be important for more therapeutic work...what does everyone recommend the best CE courses to be for a fresh therapist whom is looking for more advanced skills?!

  We all have different learning styles, so I'll make a few suggestions to try and cover as many as possible, then you can choose that which best suits you. It should go without saying, while in school, get your hands on as many people as possible and learn your own style, you may find that working with a Chiro doesn't fit for you. It certainly wouldn't fit for me. In Person classes: (I do these only sparingly because I find it much harder to grasp all the information when it is data dumped in the course of a day or 2) nmtmidwest.com Any of the courses taught by Doug Nelson, Seth Will, and the rest of their outstanding group. I learn tremendously everytime I take one of their classes, and more importantly I find out which books to read. (Doug's books are also good) Textbook to get you started: (This is how I learn best) I recommend getting a good anatomy book. (free online one here-- http://sherristakes.com/download/art/Color%20Atlas%20 of%20Anatomy%20-%20A%20Photog.%20Study%20 of%20 the%20Human%20Body%207 th%20 ed.%20-%20J.%20Rohen,%20 et%20 al.,%20%28Lippincott,%202011%29%20WW.pdf) Next, every therapist should have Travell and Simons "Big Red" books http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0683307711/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new as these will cover just about everything you will see in a clinic and give you practical advise and treatment options. Also read Sensitive Nervous System, Explain Pain, and Painful Yarns as Butler and Moseley will usher you away from Travell a bit and give you a better explanation for why things hurt. Online/DVD Classes: (My 2 nd Choice to Text book learning) Erik Dalton, Joe Muscolino, Ben Benjamin, Aaron Mattes, Art Riggs, Ross Pope, and many many more. Honestly, this forum, Somasimple.com, and Saveyourself.ca have taught me more than I learned in most online classes. You need to know how to determine good from bad clinical reasoning before spending thousands of dollars on CEU classes based on guru-worship and faulty treatment models.
