7/28 & 29, 2018; Ortho-Bionomy: Subtle Energetic & Physical Releases (phase 5) With instructor Jim Berns
3 Active days with Joshua Morton. Join us for Active Isolated stretching for the Upper Body and Upper Extremities, May 12-14 and earn up to 22 CEU’s! (AIS) is a dynamic technique that stretches muscles, tendons, and fascia, specific to anatomical planes of movement. It remodels the body using gentle, rhythmic movements that avoid triggering the myotactic reflex, which causes a contraction in the tissues being stretched. This unique stretching modality restores joint mobility, reduces muscular/fascial tension and improves circulation. With over 15 years of teaching experience, Joshua is one of the leading AIS practitioners and instructors internationally. He offers students in-depth experience and expertise in a supportive learning environment.

AIM – ALUMNI – COMMUNITY We love our alumni at AIM and the work they do in their communities. We have decided to showcase our alumni and some of the great work they do in collaboration with other health providers or on their own. Watch for updates and see what our alumni, and your favorite LMT’s, are up too near you! BRA TO SPA Event! In collaboration with The Elizabeth Institute, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Glow, and two AIM alumni, Jennifer Vaughn, LMT, CLT and Juli Bossert, LMT, CLT, the third annual BRA (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) to Spa event was a great success this year! Complimentary spa treatments were provided for 45 women with a history of breast cancer. Approximately 50% of the attendees were past patients of Dr. Margo Herron, Plastic Surgeon, and the other 50% were women of all ages with prior or current diagnosis breast cancer. With the statistic showing breast cancer directly affects 1 in 8 women, events like this are important and positive. Jenn and Juli have both furthered their licensed massage therapy careers specializing in Manual Lymph Drainage and Oncology Massage, making this community event perfect for their specializations.
