|
Now Available: INTENSIVE TRAINING THERAPY CLINIC |
|
 We have national certification from NCBTMB; our provider # is 450813-08. Credit will be given for any of the seminars or classes offered by New Dimensions. If you take any of our seminars, you may list them on your national renewal form. These seminars have consistently been approved for hands-on CE credit in Iowa and Nebraska for years. They also meet the criteria for CE Hours in other states, especially where NCBTMB or AMTA are used as the standard, and they would appear to apply to many other certification standards as well. Myofasical Release Therapy Seminars are offered to PT's, PTA's and OT's as well as other health professionals.
INTENSIVE TRAINING THERAPY CLINIC: Recently I've been asked to work more intensely with two or more people for a couple of days. This will now be available to anyone seeking deep healing in the intimate setting of our home/office in Omaha, NE.
Below is a note from the first people to request such a workshop/clinic.
"We've been seeking a non-pharmaceutical way to manage and heal my traumatic bodily injury pain and my husband's plantar fasciitis and tinnitus. We've tried surgery, traditional massage and more, experiencing none to only short-term relief. Then we happily discovered Myofascial Release; it resonated well with the kind of healing tools we'd been seeking. We read about its short- and long-term health benefits and felt encouraged and optimistic. In July we'll be attending an Intensive Session offered by Douglas Lee-Regier, where we hope to learn Myofascial Release as part of our healing journey and expand our lifestyle of good health and wellness. We're looking forward to it!"
The arrangements for such a workshop/clinic can be tailored to meet the needs of any two or more people who would like to work together. For example, a Saturday and Sunday, for two, four, or six people. Training in myofascial release will be offered participants as they wish; however, this clinic/workshop is not being offered for continuing education credits since it is intended primarily for therapy for therapists and clients alike.
