Set aside assumptions, learn safely NCBTMB Full Chest and Breast Massage NCBTMB approved - 16 hrs Course Description A two day course (originally developed by Barbara Helynn Heard, LMT) on incorporating full chest & breast massage into your work. In this class students will learn massage of the ribcage, chest and breasts to support healthy breathing and general stress relief within full body wellness massage. Students also learn how this massage can benefit clients living with breast augmentation, breast reduction, mastectomy, fibrocystic breast tissue, and other non-cancerous breast conditions. The chest and breast massage taught in this class is intended to be easily integrated into a holistic, full body session to relieve tension, stress and pain, and to increase our clients’ ease of movement in both the upper and lower body. This work consistently helps clients feel and connect with their whole body in a wonderful way that many have not previously experienced. Emphasis is placed on making our touch safe, pleasant, sexually neutral, and effective for both female and male clients. In many of the techniques taught, pressure is directed to the muscles and ribs located deep to the mammary glands which are within breast tissue. Students will learn massage techniques which are done with the chest draped and other techniques which are done bare chested/breasted for both men and women. More than half the class is devoted to hands on massage practice. The balance of the time is spent participating in discussion of the issues specific to breast massage listed below. This course meets Washington State training requirements for specialized training in breast massage (WAC 246-830-555). Course training includes: indications & contraindications therapeutic treatment techniques draping requirements appropriate therapist-client or patient boundaries expected outcomes client/ patient safety related to breast massage breast anatomy and physiology pathology SPECIAL CLASSROOM POLICIES FOR THIS CLASS By registering, Attendees agree to the following policies: Attendee must be a licensed massage therapist in any US State with an official massage licensing board, or a healthcare professional with breast massage in their scope of practice. If a massage therapist practices in a state without massage licensing, permission from the instructor is required. Attendee must be present for all class hours, including all lecture and technique demonstrations. Attendee understands that full chest and breast areas on both women and men* will be treated within this class, and that the full chest and breast will be undraped for much of the treatment. Attendee understands that the nipples and areolas will be touched during some of the treatment sequences as a general part of the breast. Specific nipple/areola treatment is not included in this course. Attendee agrees to both give and receive all techniques with fellow students, both male and female*. Friends or work associates taking the course together understand all students are expected to rotate "trades" with other students during practice times rather than only work with the same student(s) throughout the course. Attendee agrees to adhere to professional standards and ethics both during the course, as well as when working with the public in a clinical/office setting. In order to receive their Course Completion Certificate, all registering students agree to the these policies for this course. Any student who does not adhere to the course rules will be immediately asked to leave the course and will receive neither course credit nor tuition refund. Most of the classes are open gender. Typically they will be either all female or 1-2 males. This has been a ratio that has worked well. For those interested in a single gender course - I do offer them as well as private and semi private classes. * Note: I am willing to privately schedule breast and chest massage classes for 2-8 therapists. These classes can be either females only or co-ed. Contact me for more information.
