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.
