Kinetic Massage: Improve Mobility and Alleviate Joint Pain!

What is SFH Kinetic Massage?

Kinetic massage therapy places a strong emphasis on the health of joints and their surrounding tissues. This is achieved by targeting the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the joint, which are crucial in supporting and stabilizing it. By releasing tension and softening adhesions in these tissues, kinetic massage can help to reduce pain and improve joint mobility, flexibility, and range of motion.

If you’re looking to maximize the effectiveness of your treatments for challenging conditions, incorporating Kinetic Massage techniques and methods can be a great option. Your clients may notice a significant improvement in their symptoms and overall joint health. With its focus on releasing tension and improving mobility, Kinetic Massage can be a valuable tool for addressing a wide range of joint-related issues.


Discover the Advantages of SFH Kinetic Massage

  • Address joint pain and mobility issues without needing to undress or use oils or gels.
  • Emphasize finding the ideal joint position and muscle length for optimal pain relief.
  • Achieve long-lasting results by combining joint positioning and soft tissue manipulations.
  • Increase the longevity of your career by adopting better body mechanics.
  • Significantly improve your client’s response to treatment.
  • Enhance your clients’ joint functional mobility.

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.

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

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 for getting 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 necessary 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.

I completed the prenatal massage course last weekend and was very impressed with the class content. I now feel much more confident in performing massage on my pregnant clients and now know how to properly position them. Thanks Jeanine!
