“What an amazing series! When I started using Larry’s techniques my clientele literally gave me a standing ovation. My skill set now is that of a master massage therapist and my practice is booming” Jody Polevoy, CMT, CYT

“I have been using these techniques and my clientele has doubled! My clients are scheduling repeat sessions, weekly, bi-weekly, etc. The techniques are awesome and have helped me be more creative in all aspects of my massage. Getting through an hour Swedish massage used to be a challenge, now I find I can spend an hour on one arm. Great series! I highly recommend this program if you are serious about your massage and want repeat customers.” Laure Krug, LMT, Spa Owner

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR:

Larry Heisler, M.A., RMT is one of the massage pioneers in New Jersey. As a practitioner since 1975, Larry has treated nearly 50,000 clients. Possessing a strong education background, formerly a classroom teacher, an assistant principal and then college instructor, it was natural for Larry to begin teaching the healing path he loved. In 1980, Larry opened the third massage school in New Jersey, initially specializing in Traditional Barefoot Shiatsu. Soon after he followed up with a highly developed massage therapy facility located in the Parsippany Medical Complex. By 1985, his programs embraced a full spectrum of massage therapy modalities and Larry’s hundreds of students and graduates were on their way to establishing massage as a legitimate healing alternative in his northern New Jersey area.

Since 1980, the North Jersey Massage Training Center, has been widely acknowledged for its volunteer massage team participation in over 750 state wide fund raising events for organizations like the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Diabetes Tour De Cure to the Red Cross, Leukemia Society, Make A Wish Foundation and the 9/11 Port Authority Ground Zero Command.

Larry has presented for the hospital medical staffs at six different Grand Medical Rounds, has set up wellness curriculums for three Universities and has been on television discussing massage therapy legislation with then Governor Christie Todd Whitman. In addition, he has presented programs at over thirty college campuses, for a dozen health departments and townships and at over a hundred New Jersey corporations. This year Larry celebrates the 33rd anniversary of officiating at his weekly meditation and healing circle. He has never charged for this class.

The skills, knowledge and presence that Larry shared with me helped fuel my passion as a healer and practitioner. When I look back at the people and experiences that have inspired my work and life path, Larry and my training at the North Jersey Massage Training Center were a big part of that. Larry and the school have given me the training to help touch the lives of countless people in such a powerful way.”
Terence McCormick, Acupuncturist, Massage Therapist.

It’s very rare that massage therapists talk about the internal organ structure, the acupuncture lines and their relationship to the musculature unless you are studying acupuncture or taking a course like shiatsu. But the truth is in both eastern Oriental Medicine and western Applied Kinesiology, it is taught that the acupuncture energetic system, a.k.a. the meridian lines, directly influence the strength and integrity of the muscles. So if the Gall Bladder is overworked because last night we partied an ate way too much fat as in a large ice cream sundae or consumed way too much alcohol, anywhere that gall bladder meridian runs in your body, those muscles will be compromised and susceptible to injury. Did you ever wake up with a stiff neck and you said I must have slept wrong or caught a draft? Well since the neck is related to the gall bladder, there might have been another possibility, too much pizza and beer. In addition, the gall bladder meridian runs down into the rhomboids, as in those intrascapula knots we see so often, and it runs right down the hips into the IT Band. DO YOU SEE WHAT I’M GETTING AT?  If you know what foods and lifestyle habits control the meridians and what muscles are directly associated, you’ll know something so profound that it will dramatically influence how you approach your massage therapy from this day on! And that’s exactly what this class is going to teach. This presentation will change your entire perspective on how you approach bodywork.  

“This is a must class for not only massage therapists but for all wellness practitioners. It is fresh, inspired, and original clinical information.” Margaret Alviggi, R.N., past recipient, Governor’s Award New Jersey Nurse of the Year

“In the Orient the title master is used respectfully for someone who has performed 25,000 treatments. At nearly 50,000, spanning 34 years, Larry has surely established his expertise.  He shares an amazing range of insight and his techniques are quite extraordinary.” 
Sifu Chuck Loeffler, B.A., B.S., CMT, Tai Chi/Chi Kung Master

This remarkable class addresses both the core of your client and their face and head. Core work is called Ampuku in shiatsu and comprises gentle, non- invasive visceral massage with energetic breath techniques and specific, very powerful acupressure BO points. Traditional Ampuku often results in a profound sense of well being, deep, deep relaxation and/or a cleansing stimulation. Our face and head work includes our ever popular Acupressure Face Lift, making your clientele look younger and fresher, once again significantly adding to your repertoire and effectiveness.

“These great techniques have significantly improved the quality of my work.”  Theresa Menagh., R.N., CMT

 

Ultimate Foot and Hand

Friday March 19;                                               8 CE Hours

Foot and hand work is something most massage therapists are weak in. Good foot work is the difference between a satisfied client and one that will go elsewhere. This class will help you hone your foot and hand work, giving you a new, fresh approach that will have your clients returning again and again for more. This is a deep tissue approach to the extremities and not a reflexology class that requires a completely different serious course of study.

“Teacher excellent, he’s a master of his art. This was an excellent course”

 

Ultimate Practical 1

Fri. Dec.04     or    Weds. March 03     or    Thurs. May 13
10-6 pm                            8 CE Hours                           $175

                                                                                   
The pre-requisite for these classes is attendance in the entire Ultimate Series program. Larry will start by performing a complete massage session, demonstrating the techniques taught in the Ultimate Series. In addition, he will specifically address the complaints brought to us everyday in our practices and how to clinically assess and develop a treatment protocol using the advanced techniques we have learned. We will then continue by spending the remainder of the day in supervised practice, honing and developing the skills we have been immersed in.  If how you get to Carnegie Hall is practice, then we’re going to tune up your hands for a great healing massage symphony.

Ultimate Practical 2  
With Larry Heisler, M.A., RMT

Wednesday January 27    or      Friday June 4
10-6 pm                            8 CE Hours                        $175

When learning so many new and exciting advanced techniques, the hardest thing to do is to find the practice time to incorporate them on a daily basis. This class has been added because so many therapists that have completed the Ultimate Series have asked for more supervised practice time. As they called it, “Larry Time.” So join us and spend an entire day reviewing, practicing and honing your skills with Larry.

“Larry turns your hands into an artist’s tools. His unique vision for the body has transformed not only my massage practice but my advanced yoga practice as well.  If you are going to take one continuing education program this year, it has to be The Ultimate Series.”  Chuck Secallus, CMT, CYT, Asana House
