Maurice Posted November 4, 2009 As a Chiropractor, we were told to become masters of the placebo affect, this can be as simple as good bedside manner, showing empathy, but of course, there are many trade secrets, that you should pick up during your course, and thru experience.

G*P Posted November 4, 2009 Hi Stinkmeat, I've had my cert IV for 10 years and learned a couple of things as an avid health and wellenss nut. Funtional anatmoy, and applied body mechianics stuff absolouely shits over the main course info in remedial massage. imo, if a course doesnt have this it create next to useless therapists.. EFT is bloody easy, quick and effective when used with N.L.P Mantak Chia's chi gung info is ELITE- iron shirt, structural alignment and all that stuff is INCREDIBLE for a therpaists under standing of how the bodty should/can work. Pavel Tsatouline teaches very helpful concepts regarding bodywork and structure. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matriarch Posted November 4, 2009 G*P mentioned NLP - yay! Has anyone ever combined massage and hypnosis? (Im going to make an assumption that people are already in a near hypnotic state i.e. trance due to regular massage) so it wouldn't be hard to guide them into desired scenarios i.e. relaxing special place or to see visuals according to massage, to give them keywords for instant relaxation the next time they came in or additional healing by aid of hypnosis etc possibilities are endless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matriarch Posted November 5, 2009 sounds like a good idea could really prove to be a unique selling point (USP) for her if she was to promote it or yeah just keep it subtle and unadvertised - either way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
