Lab 101 & 102

LAB-101: 50-Hours hands-on.

On campus located in Soap Lake, WA.

Why are labs important? Because hands on training with a licensed professional equips students to enter the real world of private practice successfully.

Also, hands-on training is required in the State of WA. Washington State Online students are required to fulfill hands on hours in order to be eligible to sit for the State Board Test (NBCAAM).

Labs are also a great opportunity for any therapist who wants more in person, one on one instruction.

Labs can also be used as a refresher course for anyone who wants to be brought up to speed in the therapeutic industry.

Topics covered in Lab 101:

  • behavior & handling 
  • safety, first-aid 
  • theory & practice
  • foundational “Swedish” massage techniques
  • proper body-mechanics
  • kinesiology
  • anatomy & physiology
  • gait analysis
  • conformation & posture
  • palpation
  • business practices, record keeping. and ethics  

LAB 102: This lab takes you to the next level.

Advance Technique 50-Hours Hands-on 

This lab would be perfect for the therapists who needs additional CE hours to qualify for NBCAAM.

NBCAAM (National exam) requires a minimum of 200 hours in animal massage and 50 of those hours need to be hands-on.

This lab is also a great CE class for therapist wanting to learn advanced techniques; myo-fascial release, structural integration, acupressure, Kinetic Lines, micro current stimulation and red- light therapy for example.

Or just a refresher on alternative therapies. 

In this lab, I help the student achieve greater heights in their knowledge base. Since this lab is custom tailored to each student they develop and grow exactly where they want and need to.

This lab is a great opportunity for students who have attended another school and just want to fine tune their skills and learn something new.
