CROSSFIBER CORRECTIVE MUSCLE THERAPY® PROGRAM
Program Outline
CROSSFIBER CORRECTIVE MUSCLE THERAPY® LEVEL 1 CROSSFIBER CORRECTIVE MUSCLE THERAPY® LEVEL 2 CROSSFIBER CORRECTIVE MUSCLE THERAPY® LEVEL 1 Level 1 is a four-part, 80-hour intensive in Comprehensive Crossfiber Technique, the technique inspired by the work of Thérèse Pfrimmer and developed by Victoria Ross, authorized Master Pfrimmer Instructor. This unique method combines a series of short, detailed strokes with a full-coverage, three-pass system that elicits both localized and systemic results. The training covers theory, history, technique, legal considerations, contraindications, and professionalism. Level 1 is written in a “Weekend Format” of four sections that can be adapted by the instructor to fit various time frames (four 20-hour weekends; two 40-hour weeks, etc.) and is not necessarily offered strictly on weekends. A commitment to the full four-part training is necessary to qualify for enrollment. Upon completion the graduate is equipped to perform a full-body cross-fiber treatment on clients and to practice in the profession of "Crossfiber Corrective Muscle Therapy®" (CCMT). The experiential and professional training a student receives from this course makes it the most foundational level of the CCMT Program and, therefore, the required schooling for a graduate to earn the title of "Crossfiber Corrective Muscle Therapist." (For more information on Level 1, see Course 101.) CROSSFIBER CORRECTIVE MUSCLE THERAPY® LEVEL 2 The two courses offered under Level 2 provide training in the advanced troubleshooting techniques discovered by Victoria Ross, which focus specialized attention on localized problem areas of the body. The courses in Crossfiber Muscle Isolation and Gentle Fascial Release specialize in the highly-refined art of Crossfiber Palpation (touch evaluation). Students are trained to isolate 62 key muscles in order to identify the muscle, to assess the type of damage existing in the muscle, and to address the particular type of muscle/tissue damage that is found. Gentle Fascial Release applies this training to the most vulnerable/sensitive conditions; such as areas of recent surgery, recent injury, and inflamed nerve pain. Each Level 2 course may be taken individually and in any sequence; Level 1 is not required by IICMT as a prerequisite for taking Level 2 (though local regulations may apply). (For more information on Level 2, see Courses 201, 202.)
COURSE 101
This four-part course comprises all of Level 1. Goal of Course: To train the student in a form of medical-type muscle therapy designed to cause corrective changes to the neuromuscular system. By applying a system of detailed, cross-fiber strokes to the entire body in a succession of three passes, the student is trained in a full-body treatment format that maximizes on the body’s own healing responses, one which facilitates both localized and systemic results. It is effective in addressing pain and a wide range of muscular and soft-tissue conditions and serves as an excellent foundation for other types of corrective bodywork. This four-part, 80-hour course equips the practitioner with the skills and knowledge needed both to practice the technique and to navigate the profession. The training covers theory, history, technique, legal considerations, contraindications, and professionalism. Lecture, audiovisual aids, charts, a student instruction guide, and critical-thinking discussions are utilized. Close individual hands-on guidance is given. Suitable for: Practitioners who wish to perform full-body corrective treatments or full-coverage treatments on sections of the body in order to bring relief to clients suffering from mild-to-serious muscular, neurological, connective-tissue, and structural conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, back and neck pain, structural imbalances, circulatory problems, lupus, paralysis, stroke, Parkinson’s, CP, MS, MD, etc.). Name of Profession: Crossfiber Corrective Muscle Therapy® Professional Title Awarded: Crossfiber Corrective Muscle Therapist Certificates Awarded: Certificate of Completion is awarded upon completion of each of the first 3 sections; Certificate of Achievement is awarded upon completion of the fourth and final section. Length of Course: four 20-hour sections / 80 hours total CE Hours: 80 CE hours Prerequisites: Professional training as massage therapist, physical therapist, nurse, doctor, or health care provider; previous training in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Contraindications, and Professional Ethics Student–Teacher Ratio: (12:1) Course Objectives: Upon graduation the student will be able to do the following: to perform a full-body, hands-on CCT treatment; to list contraindications; to recount history, theory, and legal considerations of the profession; to identify proper body mechanics during regular technique-work or while moving a client with extensive paralysis; to follow clinical process guidelines in his/her practice; to communicate on the subject of Crossfiber Corrective Muscle Therapy® in a professional manner. Graduation Requirements: Passing a practical exam and a written exam Tuition in USA: $2000 Additional Costs: $25 non-refundable application fee; cost for required course textbook; required outside purchase of reference book: Trail Guide to the Body, by Andrew Biel
(For more information on this course, see Level 1.)
COURSE 201
This is the first of the courses making up Level 2. Goal of Course: To train the student in an advanced, cross-fiber troubleshooting technique for quickly finding and fixing problems in the muscles and surrounding soft-tissue. Learning to address the muscle across-the-fiber not only enhances the ease of identifying muscle and soft-tissue problems, but it automatically brings the practitioner’s hands into position for correcting what has been found. In this course the student is trained to use his/her fingertips to isolate 62 key muscles and then to practice differentiating between the types of potential conditions existing in muscle tissue: e.g., tension, adherent factors, fibrousness, congestion, etc. This course is foundational to the art of Crossfiber Palpation (touch evaluation) and advanced muscle correction. It opens the practitioner to the limitless learning potential of being informed by the body, about the body, through intuitive touch. Suitable for: Nurses, physical therapists, massage therapists, corrective muscle therapists, and health care providers practicing in the following situations: working on athletes; working with chiropractors, osteopaths, or neurological rehabilitation facilities; working on clients with paralysis, restricted range of motion, physical trauma, repetitive strain injury, inability to “hold” a chiropractic adjustment, etc. Length of Course: 20 hours Student–Teacher Ratio: (12:1) Prerequisites: Professional training as massage therapist, physical therapist, corrective muscle therapist, nurse, doctor, or health care provider; previous training in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Contraindications, and Professional Ethics Course Objectives: Upon completion the student will be able to do the following: to perform Crossfiber Muscle Isolation on 62 muscles; to list contraindications; and to identify proper body mechanics. Completion Requirements: Passing a practical demonstration on 3 muscles Certificate Awarded: Certificate of Completion CE Hours: 20 CE hours Registration: $25 (non-refundable) Tuition in USA: $200 Additional Fees: Level 2 Student Instruction Guide (price determined by teacher; conditional upon option selected) Optional: Suggested book: Trail Guide to the Body, by Andrew Biel (For more information on this course, see Level 2.)
COURSE 202 GENTLE FASCIAL RELEASE (GFR)
This is the second of the courses making up Level 2. Goal of Course: To train the student in a non-invasive, cross-fiber troubleshooting technique designed to safely and painlessly release the fascia involved in the most vulnerable conditions and areas of the body. In this course the practitioner learns to use his/her fingertips to isolate 62 key muscles and then to meet and create equilibrium between the tension being felt in the tissues and the therapist’s specifically-applied pressure. This subtle yet powerful technique effects a remarkably quick release of the tissues for such conditions as intense nerve pain, mastitis, tissue damage caused by surgery or recent injury, scar tissue, tendinitis, fibromyalgia, etc. This course — like Course 201 — is foundational to the art of Crossfiber Palpation (touch evaluation) but specializes in the refined expertise required for addressing highly-sensitive conditions. It opens the practitioner to the limitless learning potential of being informed by the body, about the body, through intuitive touch. Suitable for: Nurses, physical therapists, health care providers, massage therapists, or corrective muscle therapists; care-givers of family members, the elderly, or clients with delicate conditions; practitioners seeking to practice a highly-effective yet less-taxing form of bodywork Length of Course: 20 hours Student–Teacher Ratio: (12:1) Prerequisites: Professional training as massage therapist, physical therapist, corrective muscle therapist, nurse, doctor, or health care provider; previous training in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Contraindications, and Professional Ethics Course Objectives: Upon completion the student will be able to do the following: to perform GFR on 62 muscles; to address at least ten specific conditions (selected by the class); to list contraindications; and to identify proper body mechanics and effective hand positions. Completion Requirements: Passing a practical demonstration on one muscle and one condition of the body Certificate Awarded: Certificate of Completion CE Hours: 20 CE hours Registration: $25 (non-refundable) Tuition in USA: $200 Additional Fees: Level 2 Student Instruction Guide (price determined by teacher; conditional upon option selected) Optional: Suggested book: Trail Guide to the Body, by Andrew Biel (For more information on this course, see Level 2.)
