Massaging the kidney reflex

ABDOMINAL DETOX

Abdominal detoxification massage is an ancient form of Chinese, Taoist therapy that uses direct massage techniques to remove congestion from to abdomen. Congestion refers not only to the physical knots, tangles and lumps in the organs, but also the emotional and energetic congestion that result. Elements of Tai Chi, Chi Kung, reflexology and acupressure are incorporated into this treatment to restore vitality to the organs and the individual. 

​

Abdominal Detox I: An introduction to the ancient therapy. The objective is to have participants learn to locate the reflexes of each organ and how to apply manual techniques directly to both the organs and reflex points.

​

Abdominal Detox II: In this second workshop, more emphasis is placed on the foundational theory, the removal of pathogenic wind from the body by using both the hands and elbows, and exercises to protect the therapist from acquiring "sick energy" from clients.

Scope of Practice

​

On November 24 2020, the CMTO changed our scope of practice and “rescinded two policies 1) the Complementary Modalities policy, and 2) Modalities Considered to be Outside the Scope of Practice policy."  Instead of providing a list of modalities that is, or is not in scope, they have adopted a new modernized standard in which a modality can be used if:

​

1.     It involves the manipulation of joints and soft tissue with the aim of maintaining or rehabilitating physical dysfunction

2.     You can obtain informed consent from clients and explain the risks, benefits and side effect etc

3.     Training is sufficient to ensure safe treatment

4.     There is evidence to support the use of the modality for the benefit of the clients health

​

If the modality falls within this Scope of Practice, they may be billed as “Massage Therapy Treatment.”

Our Traditional Thai Massage and Chi Nei Tsang courses and treatments satisfy all the necessary requirements to qualify within our scope of practice.
