Taking Care of My Body

The most valuable tool you have as a massage therapist is your body. As massage therapists and healers, we aspire to help others improve their bodies, minds and spirits, but what about us? As you may already know, massage can be physically demanding, taking a toll on our bodies. In many cases, this physical toll can lead to injury from repetitive use, cancelled appointments, and a shortened career.

Here at Sun Institute, we have integrated into our Massage Therapy program the tools you need to keep you healthy. That health means less time lost to injury, a longer and more enjoyable career, and an enhanced ability to assist your clients health needs.

Programs
Through Dahn Yoga and Ki-Gong, our students gain the valuable experience of thoroughly knowing the body through personal experience. Dahn Yoga is scientifically designed to work every muscle, tendon, joint, organ and gland, while moving fresh oxygenated blood throughout the whole body. You will experience and balance the flow of Ki energy in the body, enhance concentration and reduce stress response.

Ki Gong or "Energy Movement", is practiced to heighten sensitivity, strength and stamina, correct physical posture and energy alignment, and con troll the energy system. By developing "relaxed strength", emotional balance and postural alignment, our students excel in all areas. Once mastered, these techniques can be utilized as a self maintenance program.
