The Fluid Facilitation Technique - 16 CEUs

THE FLUID FACILITATION TECHNIQUE August 7-8, 2010 9:30-6:30pm Training Location: CCBC Essex 16 CE Hours One of the most important benefits of massage is an increase in circulation. However what is most proved and obvious, commonly escapes from attention. The specific technique that enhances movement all body fluids currently is not taught. So, a few years ago I decided to develop the continuing education workshop that specifically addresses enhancement of circulation. HEALTHY ME August 4, 2010 5-9pm Training Location: CCBC Essex 4 CE Hours THE FLUID FACILITATION TECHNIQUE The fluid facilitation technique was developed for those who need to recover from effects of exercises and injuries quickly. It is designed to facilitate movement of variety of body fluids such as blood, lymph, interstitial, synovial fluid and more. Based on Dr. Emil Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) technique a completely different massage technique was developed. It is much less complicated, easier to learn, and more easily integrated into massage sessions than MLD or Lymphatic Facilitation (LF). MLD and LF design to facilitate movement of lymph only. The fluid technique is enables fluid exchange between blood capillaries and interstitial (extracellular) fluids. There are approximately eight “fluid pumps” in human body. By stimulating natural physiological responses MT speeds up fluid exchange. Thus more nutrients and oxygen delivered to the tissue and faster metabolic waist products removed, faster process of healing occurs.

Maryland Massage Therapy Trade Name Requirements

There has been much confusion about the Maryland State Board of Chiropractic and Massage Therapy Examiners' requirement for trade name approval by Massage Therapists. Here is clarification on the trade name issue. Every Maryland RMP or LMT must get trade name approval from the board unless they are working for someone else. This is a separate approval from the one you may have received for your business name from the State of Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation in Annapolis.

Even though the current regulations do not specifically say that you must do so, it is the Board's policy not to approve any trade name that does not include the words Massage or LMT, or RMP in the trade name. See the following examples for what does and does not work. Even though it may be argued that your personal name is not a trade name, it is simply your name, the board still requires you to submit a trade name application unless you are working for someone else (ie a chiropractor's office or massage therapy center.)

Here is what works:

• John Doe Massage
• Healing Hands Massage and Bodywork
• Jane Doe, LMT
• Healthy You Massage and Wellness Center
• Holistic Massage
• Body in Balance Massage Therapy

Here is what does not work and will be disapproved:

• John Doe Bodywork
• Healthy you Wellness Center
• Holistic Healthcare
• Body in Balance
• Any name already approved for someone else
