INTRODUCING THE HEALING ARTS PROTOCOL
The Healing Arts Protocol integrates multiple techniques, modatities and approaches of massage, body work, energy work and movement awareness.
In the Healing Ars Protocol, all techniques and strategies are valuable and certain modalities are specific treatments for different types of injuries, pain and dysfunction. Using different techniques therapists can expect two major factors in their work (1) their hands can provide healing arts treatments to others and (2) their presence can influence the well-being of both the client and therapist.
With presence, verbal interaction can help clients by talking less about muscles, and more about grace, poise and posture. For example, healing arts therapist tend not to see a client as an individual with a limp, sway back or other ailment; but as an individual with a unique set of circumstances and lifestyle conditions.
With this in mind, healing arts therapists are able to work with individuals in a way that empowers clients to change )e.g., movement awareness and wellness coaching). Treatment Outcome may be more beneficial because the client is given the space and control to change his or her behavior and thus can heal better and faster. In a medical example, a physician can set two bone fragments in place, bur the body itself finally heals the broken bones; the physician simply directs and facilitates the process.
The Healing Arts Protocol works in a very similar way, requiring full engagement of the therapist and the client. The Healing Arts Protocol is simply a logical, common sense treatment protocol. The intent is to use both Eastern and Western techniques together in one logical treatment and procedure. With the Healing Arts Protocol, massage and bodywork, pluss energy work and wellness coaching become one.
The Healing Arts Protocol relies upon the basic premise that a muscle can do one of two things, shorten or lengthen. Overuse will shorten muscles and lengthen the antagonist producing unhealthy muscles. Trauma, injury, bad posture, bad body mechanics, sedentary lifestyles, poor eating habits and age are just some of the factors that affect the weakness of muscles. Further, every individual exhibits a unique set of stress characteristics, psycho-sociological patterns and personality traits that accumulate into muscle tension. Stress builds up in human bodies over hours, days and years causing shortened muscles resulting in knots, pain and loss of function. Muscles tend to lengthen with massage and bodywork, activity, stretching, good nutrition and fitness.
Typically, shortened muscles need to be treated with massage four times more often than longer, relaxed muscles to facilitate repair, normal length and restored range of motion. Further, Healing Arts Protocol treatments are a working cooperation between therapist and client incorporating energy work and movement coaching.
Healing Arts Therapist are Trained above and beyond what they received in massage school.
The Key to the Healing Arts Protocol is to know which muscles and attachment points to work on to regain functionality, promote healing and reduce pain. The healing Arts Protocol treatment requires the massage and bodywork therapist ot have a working knowledge of several different techniques, advanced palpation skills and an intuitive treatment element in their hands. Further, the therapist needs to control several variables, including order, rhythm, rate, pressure, direction and duration, In this protocol, all forms of massage and bodywork can be used including western/eastern massage, energy work and movement awareness. With each technique, the therapist needs to absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add something special of their own. A therapists must determine which techniques will be most useful in each unique client situation.
THE GOAL: IMPROVED TREATMENT OUTCOMES
I have seen firsthand how this approach has helped Clients alleviate and long-standing physical conditions, and gain relief from discomfort, dysfunction and anxiety. Some clients have had tears of joy when they see the results of their treatment in the mirror or walk without pain. For example By reducing pain and increasing range of motion, a 71-year-old woman with back pain returned to walking and playing golf without surgery. In a different case a client returned to tennis competition after a career ending shoulder injury. One 79 year old man amazed his surgeon with the speed of his scar healing.
