I am the Director and Senior Instructor at Institute of Professional Practical Therapy - a California state approved vocational school that trains massage therapists, physical therapy aides and chiropractor assistants.
Massage therapy is one of the most natural and effective therapeutic tools for stress management.
All programs taught at Institute of Professional Practical Therapy are focused and oriented on the therapeutic and medical aspects of massage therapy and other physical medicine methods. Our Chiropractor Assistant Program focuses on training students how to perform spinal mobilization, scapula manipulation and manual traction on various spinal regions for many different types of spinal disorders. Our occupation is a wonderful combination between a spiritual artistic performance and the science of the structure and function of the body. Therefore, we will not ask you to memorize thousands of anatomical names of all the body parts but instead we will teach you to understand every aspect of this wonderful therapy. During most of the program we teach hands-on lessons with detailed explanations on what are the purposes of the treatment and how with your touch you can serve those purposes.
