LYMPHATIC DRAINING FOR FACE & NECK WITH VIBRATION THERAPY
(Great for Esti or LMT. Set of tuning forks available for purchase at time of class additional $40+tax)
Did you know that sound therapy can alleviate chronic pain from old injuries, migraines, and debilitating diseases? This course is to teach the massage therapist/bodyworker the basic knowledge of working with Tuning Forks and the Lymph System. We will use this knowledge of sound passing through objects and apply them to the use of Tuning Forks on our own bodies. Because our bodies are solid, sound waves pass through the skin, organs, tissues, right down to the very cells of our bodies.
The first part of the class will include learning about the lymph system and sound therapy. The second part of the class will be spent learning how to perform the session, which will start with opening up the Lymph Portals and ending with using the Tuning Forks on the reflex points and acupuncture points of the body.
