1 2018 Annual AMTA-Idaho Convention Red Lion Hotel-Twin Falls, ID October 4-7, 2018 Cupping for the Massage Therapist (6 CEUs) presented by Courtney Peterson This cupping class is broken into two sections. The first half is theory, and the second is application. We will be using manual vacuum cups, silicone, and glass facial cups. The theory section of the class talks briefly about history of cupping, and the spends the majority of the time discussing western application theory. The reason for spending so much of the class on theory is that western methodology differs so much from eastern. Every class is a little different based on the students who attend. Cupping is such a versatile modality that it lends itself to a wide range of adjustments and variance. During the application section we will learn basic cupping stokes and technique. Cupping for the Massage Therapist - Part 2 (6 CEUs) presented by Courtney Peterson This class is almost entirely hands on. Before lunch we will focus on anterior bodywork and after lunch we will focus on posterior bodywork. During the anterior section we will spend time doing facial cupping with the glass facial cups, and also learn techniques for abdominal. During the posterior section we will explore additional techniques for major muscle groups including the rotator cuff and IT band. Courtney Peterson, LMT Ethics: Idaho Massage Law (3 CEUs) presented by Courtney Peterson In this class we will cover all 13 ethical standards set by the Idaho Board of Massage Therapy. We will also discuss the anatomy of trust as it applies to the therapeutic relationship and ways that we as massage therapists can improve our relationships with our clients as well as other professionals. About the Instructor: Courtney Peterson Courtney Peterson graduated from the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2005, and began teaching massage in She has a passion for learning and enjoys teaching fellow therapists in a variety of massage-related topics.

2 2018 AMTA Idaho Annual Convention Red Lion Hotel - Twin Falls, ID October 4-7, 2018 Precision Neuromuscular Therapy: The Hip (6 CEUs) presented by Stacey Kilps of PNMT Midwest The vital role of the hip as a source of pain and its role in healthy movement is often overlooked. Issues of the hip may present local pain but can also greatly effect areas both above and below. For instance, restrictions in the hip demand that the low back compensate, leading to low back pain. Treatment of the low back (where the symptoms present) will be frustratingly unsuccessful. It is common to have hip pain where no visible pathology is discovered, precise soft tissue approaches can be amazingly effective. The focus of this seminar is on accurate assessment strategies and effective treatment techniques to help you treat the right structure for the right reason. We don t just teach you how, we teach you why! Stacey Kilps, PNMT Instructor Precision Neuromuscular Therapy: Low Back (6 CEUs) presented by Stacey Kilps of PNMT Midwest In the NMT for the Low Back seminar, you will learn how to efficiently evaluate and treat people with various types of back pain involving the lumbar area. In order to accomplish this, you will learn to clearly identify the anatomical landmarks necessary for great palpation, identify and address the correct soft tissue structures that affect the stated pain pattern, and review how these soft tissue About the Instructor: Stacey was introduced to Doug and PNMT through her alma mater, Blue Sky Educational Foundation in Grafton WI almost 20 years ago. Her journey into neuromuscular therapy was fueled by past injuries as a professional modern dancer. Becoming certified in PNMT and following Doug s work, she has been able to understand and relieve her own and others chronic muscular pain. Stacey received her Bachelor's Degree in Human Biology with an emphasis in Exercise Science from the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay, graduating cum laude. Most recently, Stacey spent 2 years acquiring 500 hours of Yoga Teacher Training at Bay Area Yoga Center. She has found that the additional education has opened horizons in how weakness and lack of flexibility can contribute to her client s pain. These employed with PNMT has been a winning combination in creating effective outcomes. Over the years of practicing neuromuscular therapy and being a part of the PNMT community, teaching and developing quality curriculum for massage therapy and yoga training programs has become a strong passion for Stacey. Stacey opened Precision Massage in Arizona 2 years ago as an important part of ensuring that the future of the profession continues to raise the bar.
