Advanced Cervical Spine
Treatment & Mobilizations

In this course you will learn various techniques to safely and effectively mobilize the vertebrae. Immobility of the vertebrae in the cervical spine leads to headaches, migraines, general neck and shoulder tension and even nausea.

 

The mobilizations taught in this course are gentle and effective. Soft tissue techniques are of fascial, thai massage and shiatsu origin and do not require the use of lotion. These techniques are especially effective when the immobility is severe.

Testimonials 

Andre is an incredible Teacher! Utilizing everything I learned from his course *Advanced Cervical Spine Mobilizations * was powerful. He's a very patient and caring instructor, the way you perform the technique is of utmost importance.

​

I had a client who was experiencing neck twitching and neck spasms after lifting heavy boxes from work. I ended up utilizing the techniques learned from his course. After only 20 minutes of treatment he got off the table and stated he was "Back in business."

​

His neck motion was restored, from not being able to turn his head to completely turning his head fully right after. And the best part about it was the techniques utilize no oil.

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On November 24 2020, the CMTO changed our scope of practice and “rescinded two policies 1) the Complementary Modalities policy, and 2) Modalities Considered to be Outside the Scope of Practice policy."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.
