A full sequence of treatment ideas is shown starting in prone, with discussion on what to do if you find areas of concern/complaint that need more specific techniques applied (yet still be able to fit everything into one session).
The supine portion of the session starts on the lower body, and ends at the head & neck, once again addressing possible areas where some clients might need more specific work, but keeping the therapist focused on achieving a full body result in the time allotted.
Day 2: Self Care Stretching and Strengthening for the Manual Therapists
This workshop is designed to promote proper biomechanics to prevent injuries, while working as a manual therapist. Discussion and demonstration of the various hydrotherapy techniques learned while in massage school, is an important application of the knowledge required for Self Care and management of the various injuries that may occur during a manual therapy career. Demonstrations on correct table height and postural form/stance while giving treatment sessions is emphasized, in order to give therapists the basis for a long & pain free career. There will be coaching & practice on diaphragmatic breathing, using your core correctly while you work, as well as muscle strengthening exercises and stretches relevant to manual therapists. These principles can also help you coach your patients successfully in pain management, hydrotherapy guidelines, and stretching & strengthening.

Craig Knowles KMT - Lower Extremities

The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is a modality that can be used by and profession that deals with biomechanical dysfunctions of the muscular system. When it comes to this type of trauma, all muscles respond the exact same way. They contract. If the muscles are contracted, the individual loses not only range of motion, but also muscle strength. The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is to learn how to treat muscles using their plane of action. This course teaches how to merge passive range of motion with other muscle release techniques, allowing relief from pain through the elongation of the muscle fibers. This technique helps in breaking apart adhesion and scar tissue that limit muscle flexibility and length. By including ROM with treatment, you will be able to use less pressure and get the desired results.
We will be covering common muscular injuries such as Piriformis Syndrome, Psuedo Sciatica, Shin Splints, Plantar Fasciitis, among others.
This course will be 12 hours and cover two days.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please bring sheets and lotion to class.

Craig Knowles - Lymphatic Drainage Part 3 - Surgeries and Tools
2026-06-12 09:00 - 2026-06-13 17:00 | Gwinnett College – Lilburn, GA, 4230 Lawrenceville Hwy, Ste 11, Lilburn, GA, 30047, United States
Lymphatic Massage is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Lymphatic Massage is a very gentle manual treatment that is proven to reduce swelling by dramatically enhancing the function of the lymphatic system. Lymphatic Massage is also known to improve the quality of sleep, decrease pain, calm the nervous system, and benefit the immune system. This technique will greatly benefit your clients who have:

soft-tissue injuries;
rheumatoid arthritis;
high stress levels/anxiety disorders;
fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue;
surgical trauma/edema;
migraine headaches;
cancer/oncology diagnosis;
sinus congestion or allergies;
mild, medically-uncomplicated lymphedema;
clients in hospice or palliative care;

Part 3:
takes the routines we learned in Part 2 and modifies them for specific ortho and cosmetic surgeries. You will also learn to techniques to treat scar tissue using scraping tools and cupping.
Lymphatic Certifications
After completing Part 1 and Part 2, practice, practice, practice. When you feel you are ready, retake PART 2. On Day one of the class there will be a chance to practice, to iron out any last kinks. On Day 2 when the full body practical is performed, you will be evaluated on the skills you perform. IF you show you are competent and safely applying all the techniques taught in Part 1 and Part 2, you will receive a Lymphatic Massage Certification. Attendance alone does not guarantee a Certification, you must demonstrate proper application of ALL techniques.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please bring sheets and lotion to class.

Carrie Taylor's Facial Fundamentals & HOPMNRS Approach to Assessment
2026-06-13 10:00 - 2026-06-14 18:00 | Gwinnett College – Roswell, GA, 1455 Old Alabama Road Suite 160, Roswell, GA, 30076, United States
Day 1:Fascial Fundamentals
This workshop will give participants an introduction to the “Taylor Technique” style of myofascial assessment & treatment, and how to incorporate this work into their current practice. Specifically, strain/ counterstrain, using limbs as levers, pin & drag, skin rolling, pick up & roll are all shown in several areas of the body, focusing on palpation of superficial and deep layers of fascia, and differentiating between the two.
Learning about the elements of fascia and how to dialogue on this topic with prospective and current clients, will help participants incorporate this work into their current massage practice, while managing client expectations. Therapists will become proficient at using these techniques everywhere in the body, and the focused hands-on practice in palpation, is a skill that will be demonstrated throughout the seminar, in addition to body mechanics.
This class is the platform for the other 9 topics in the level 1 series, and gives the healthcare practitioner a firm foundation in applying palpative skill effectively. DVDs and downloads are available for all ten topics in this myofascial certification series, as well as ten level 2 DVDs and ten level 3 DVDs now available at www.taylortechniquesinc.com. Level 1 textbook is available in downloadable and hard copy formats on amazon/kindle!
Day 2: HOPMNRS Approach to Assessment
This course offers an in depth look at Assessment and Treatment from a myofascial perspective. Therapists will be taken through a very detailed process on how to approach assessing a client, from History/intake, to observation, movement and posture analysis, as well as palpation and neurological assessment, referral pain recognition, and special tests when needed. This approach is designed to increase the therapist’s confidence and expertise when assessing a client, giving them the necessary information to form a highly effective treatment plan.

Craig Knowles KMT - Lower Extremities

The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is a modality that can be used by and profession that deals with biomechanical dysfunctions of the muscular system. When it comes to this type of trauma, all muscles respond the exact same way. They contract. If the muscles are contracted, the individual loses not only range of motion, but also muscle strength. The basis of Kinetic Musculorehab Technique is to learn how to treat muscles using their plane of action. This course teaches how to merge passive range of motion with other muscle release techniques, allowing relief from pain through the elongation of the muscle fibers. This technique helps in breaking apart adhesion and scar tissue that limit muscle flexibility and length. By including ROM with treatment, you will be able to use less pressure and get the desired results.
We will be covering common muscular injuries such as Piriformis Syndrome, Psuedo Sciatica, Shin Splints, Plantar Fasciitis, among others.
This course will be 12 hours and cover two days.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please bring sheets and lotion to class.

Craig Knowles - Lymphatic Drainage Part 1 - Techniques
2026-07-17 09:00 - 2026-07-18 17:00 | Gwinnett College – Lilburn, GA, 4230 Lawrenceville Hwy, Ste 11, Lilburn, GA, 30047, United States
Lymphatic Massage is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Lymphatic Massage is a very gentle manual treatment that is proven to reduce swelling by dramatically enhancing the function of the lymphatic system. Lymphatic Massage is also known to improve the quality of sleep, decrease pain, calm the nervous system, and benefit the immune system. This technique will greatly benefit your clients who have:

soft-tissue injuries;
rheumatoid arthritis;
high stress levels/anxiety disorders;
fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue;
surgical trauma/edema;
migraine headaches;
cancer/oncology diagnosis;
sinus congestion or allergies;
mild, medically-uncomplicated lymphedema;
clients in hospice or palliative care;

Part 1 will:

Describe basic anatomy, physiology of the lymph system and main body fluids.
Explain the scientific principles behind Lymph Drainage Therapy, and why the lymphatic system plays a crucial role in recovering from disease and enhancing health.
Explain the importance of the lymphatic system and how it relates to blood and other body fluids.
Describe main indications and contraindications.
Perform techniques that help you move lymph and interstitial fluid through the body to cleanse it of toxins.
Describe the main specific locations of lymph nodes and lymph vessels.
Put treatments and self-help techniques right away into practice.

Lymphatic Certifications
After completing Part 1 and Part 2, practice, practice, practice. When you feel you are ready, retake PART 2. On Day one of the class there will be a chance to practice, to iron out any last kinks. On Day 2 when the full body practical is performed, you will be evaluated on the skills you perform. IF you show you are competent and safely applying all the techniques taught in Part 1 and Part 2, you will receive a Lymphatic Massage Certification. Attendance alone does not guarantee a Certification, you must demonstrate proper application of ALL techniques.
Because this course is 12 hours hands on, please bring sheets and lotion to class.
