Active Isolated Stretching (AIS)                                                    East Brunswick, NJ
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Saturday, March 28, 2020
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $125  
CEUs: 8

Course Description:  Aaron Mattes RKT, LMT Developed the Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) method. This method of fascial release provides effective dynamic facilitated stretching of major muscle groups, but more importantly functional and physiological restoration of superficial and deep fascial planes. Performing AIS, for no longer than 2.0 seconds, allows the targeted muscle to be optimally lengthened, without triggering the protective stretch reflex. AIS removes toxins from the bodies cells and allows for substantial improvements in the muscle elasticity, range of motion and eliminates postural distortions.

Intermuscular Septum Massage                                                                                                East Brunswick, NJ
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Saturday, March 14, 2020
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $125 
CEUs: 8

Course Description: "The Missing Link in adhesions."

Intermuscular Septum is described as:  A thin layer of closely packed bundles of collagen fibers, possibly with several preferential directions predominating, arranged in various layers. The septa separate different, usually antagonistic, muscle groups (for example, flexors and extensors), but may not limit force transmission.

This course will focus on techniques to separate muscles throughout the body, along their septa, to release adhesions.

Cupping Therapy                                                               East Brunswick, NJ
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Saturday, February 29, 2020
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $125
CEUs: 8

Course Description: Cupping therapy is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that has been used for thousands of years as a highly effective treatment for a variety of conditions, including skin conditions and musculoskeletal complaints.

The course will begin with a thorough history of cupping and move into how to utilize the cups and how to sanitize and clean the cups. We will also discuss contraindications and indications regarding cupping. There are many known benefits of cupping, by lifting tissue instead of pressing tissue. The lifting of tissue has a profound effect on the deeper structures.

Participants will be able to show proficiency in utilizing cupping on various parts of the body.

This course will instruct by demonstration/practice with participants utilizing techniques: cupping on the neck, shoulders, arms, wrist and hands, along with abdomen, back, gluteals, legs, calves and feet.

Orthopedic Assessment & Correction                                                                                        East Brunswick, NJ
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Saturday, February 15, 2020
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $125 
CEUs: 8

Course Description:  A systematic process of gathering information, which provides the therapist the information necessary to determine appropriate treatment. Identify the tissues involved and assess their dysfunction. The therapist will utilize the below techniques to assess the client. With these assessments we can ascertain which techniques may assist the client in less pain. Range of motion and resistive testing (Protocol) 1)Evaluate the client’s ability to move actively Active ROM use both contractile tissues (muscles and tendons) which produce movement and inert tissues (nerves, bursa and fascia) 2)Evaluate the clients ability to move passively Passive ROM uses the inert tissues (joints, nerves, bursa and fascia) which reveal different symptoms than contractile tissues 3)Evaluate the clients ability against resistance (isometric movements) These tests may confirm the active tests. Since these tests involve no movement the inert tissues are not involved. These tests involve the proper contraction of muscles and tendons 4)Special tests These tests are Orthopedics tests and may indicate a specific problem such as rotator cuff tears and carpal tunnel syndrome. The tests results are either positive or negative. 5) Joint Capsule Work While checking client`s range of motion observe the end feel of the movement. If the end feel is bone on bone like perform capsule work. If end feel is leather in feel perform soft tissue work.

Pin & Stretch                                                                                 East Brunswick, NJ 
​Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Saturday, February 1, 2020
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $125  
CEUs: 8

Course Description:  Pin and Stretch Technique is a movement based muscle lengthening approach that is highly effective at assisting/treating issues with muscle, tendon, ligament and fascia. Tissues that may appear abnormal with regard to texture, tightness, movement, and function are treated with stretching combines with sliding force, which are intended to increase movement of the tissues by removing or breaking up adhesions. You may accomplish this by way of C-clamping or direct pressure applied tissue you wish to release. Pin and Stretch requires client participation for its overall effectiveness with regards to Targeted areas that are identified in muscles and tendons where overuse or dysfunction may have caused repetitive injury and the potential for scar tissue build up. As a result, this may cause nerve irritation, shorten the potential length of muscles and may produce tendons irritation. By this application of direct pressure while the client performs specific motions to lengthen the tissue in the specific movements, the result is to ultimately release underlying tissues. This has the potential to increases blood flow, reduces nerve pain, improve range of motion, and increases strength.

Kinetic Activation Technique
Presented by Mark Carangelo

Date: Sunday, June 23, 2019
Time: 9am-5pm
Tuition: $125  
CEU: 8



Kinetic Activation Technique is a form of manual muscle testing that breaks down relationships into easily implemented procedures. KAT discusses in depth the terms associated with Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) from reciprocal inhibition, synergistic dominance and others. Long and short lever muscles will be tested and we will be discussing their relationships to movement. KAT will provide solid MMT's with local and global concepts and how to connect the big picture of how the body moves.
