SFH Kinetic Massage: Improve Mobility and Alleviate Joint Pain!


What do Clients who received Kinetic Massage have to say:

“Finally a way that targeted my neck complaint, I felt that it was just what I needed to heal from my accident.”

-John

“ I have never had a treatment laying on my side, it was amazing”

-Cathy

“ This feels like a missing element to my chronic hip pain, after 3 sessions I feel so much better and can move without worrying.”

-Doris

“ I have suffered low-back pain and headaches for years. I feel validated with the movement treatment (kinetic). This creates a longer-lasting effect I have ever had.”

– Alex

“Prior to my right hip replacement surgery, I received weekly massages for four months. During these sessions, the massage therapist consistently included Kinetic Massage techniques. I cannot emphasize enough the tremendous benefits I experienced from this approach. It significantly aided in pain management, preserved my mobility, alleviated muscle tension, and greatly improved my sleep quality at night.”

-Linda

Specifics of each SFH Kinetic Massage course

Kinetic Massage of the Neck:

By adopting a more dynamic approach to neck treatment, you can provide your clients with the desired results they seek. The Kinetic Massage of the Neck course utilizes active massage techniques that incorporate joint movements and muscle positioning to enhance the therapeutic experience. This course covers the anatomy of the neck, manipulation of both the upper and lower cervical spine, and demonstration of techniques in supine, prone and side-lying positions. Specific muscles will be targeted to provide customized therapy during this Kinetic Massage approach, making it an ideal technique for treating various neck conditions such as muscle dysfunction, neurovascular compression, and joint restrictions.

Kinetic Massage of the Shoulder

Master the complexity of the shoulder region with the effective Kinetic Massage approach. Gain insight into the connection between each muscle and its impact on the shoulder joint, shoulder girdle, and T or C spine. Learn techniques to release the scapula by targeting the thoracic cage muscles with specific positions. Through thorough work on specific muscles, enhance the freedom of movement in the shoulder and neck region. Attain and sustain chest and thoracic cage openings to further improve shoulder mobility. Become a specialist in the high-demand body region – the shoulder – with this comprehensive course.

Kinetic Massage of the Hip:

Many people suffer from constant pain and require relief. Research indicates that the hip joint is the quickest aging joint in the body. Chronic sitting is a prevalent problem and can be as harmful as smoking to one’s physical well-being. The Kinetic Massage Technique is a solution that can provide relief and reduce stiffness. Restore hip mobility by learning soft tissue release techniques that decompress the hip joint, enhance joint lubrication, and improve mobility. Give years of health to that rapidly aging joint with Kinetic Massage of the hip.

Take satisfaction in knowing that you can make a significant difference with Kinetic Massage.


SFH Certification Requirements

  1. Students must be present for the whole duration of the course length to become certified.  
  2. Students must participate and safely execute all hands-on components of the course.  
  3. Students must pass the final written exam. 

Although taking the exam is not mandatory to obtain credits from your association, certain insurance companies may insist on it as a prerequisite for covering your practice in this therapy. As a result, it’s recommended that you verify with your insurance provider to determine their criteria.

Exam: Within three days of course completion, Seminars for Health will send students an email with a link to access the online exam. You will have 14 days of access to complete your exam, starting when you sign up. Upon passing (>70%),  log in to your online account to obtain your certificate.

Benefits of Being an SFH Certified Therapist

It demonstrates your comprehension of the course material to a level where the certifying body is assured that you can safely integrate their teachings into your professional practice.

Certain insurance companies may insist you write an exam and be certified as a prerequisite for covering your practice in this therapy.

Being certified gives you confidence that you understand the material to put it into your practice safely.

By obtaining certification, you can confidently advertise to your clients that you are officially SFH certified.

Acquiring certification boosts your level of expertise among colleagues in your profession.


What Distinguishes “proof of attendance” from “Certification”?

Upon completion of our courses, students receive “proof of attendance”, which entitles them to the designated credits approved by their association. There’s no need to take an exam to get continued education credits.

In contrast, students have the option to obtain certification by passing our exam. Upon passing all required exams, they’ll receive an SFH certificate that acknowledges they have met all the requirements to become a “Certified Therapist.” Some insurance companies do require certification for coverage.  It is recommended that you verify with your insurance provider to determine their criteria.  


Looking for CEUS Only

If you’re solely interested in obtaining CEUs, attending the class will suffice as you’ll be granted credits and digital evidence of attendance.
