Position Therapy Program
Description: Position Therapists are healing professionals and instructors who focus on human technology and foster the development of innate human potential. A Position Therapist understands the multivariate influences between the brain and the body and how the interaction of each respective system contributes to the comprehensive physical and mental health of the individual. The goal of the Position Therapist is to guide the client to greater health by improving the ability to obtain the correct position of the body and thus enhance both physical and mental health. By utilizing western and oriental medical approaches within the framework of neuroscience, Position Therapists provide positional intervention that create the space to shift the position of physical, energetic and psycho-emotional states within the individual into a healthier sphere and more harmonious interaction. The goal of the program is to educate Position Therapists who are able to practice effectively, safely, and ethically in their community.
Curriculum: The Position Therapy program, while covering the position therapy approaches to personal healing, includes a massage therapy curriculum to prepare students for functioning as a Massage Therapist. Completion of the Position Therapy Program will thereby meet the eligibility requirements to sit for the Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy and National certification exam for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
Our 700-hour PT program will give you direct experience in your own personal healing process.
Since we believe that your strength and maximum ability as a therapist or as a person can be transferred through what is truly yours, be it knowledge or skill, our unique program is focused on delivering this belief as our core philosophy within the curriculum.
Unlike a typical massage school, our Position Therapy program dedicates almost one quarter of the program to how you can improve the quality of functioning, lower vulnerability to stress and depression, increase resilience to adversity and level of motivation, through experience.
As part of this Healer, Heal Thyself approach, students will attend weekend retreats to support the process into personal healing and wellbeing, as well as into the material and the skills necessary to be proficient as a Position Therapist.
