Our Mission:
Teresa's School of Therapeutic Massage is committed to
assisting students to acquire marketable skills for the
workplace as well as just working from there home.. As Massage
Therapist we must learn and continually growing in our knowledge
of Massage Therapy and the human body. Since April 2002 Teresa
has updated the curriculum three different times to keep up with
the constant changes in Massage Therapy. A greater number of
people today - more than half of those polled (52 percent)-
are viewing their Massage Therapist as a health care
practitioner, a reflection of the growing awareness of
Massage's, with many health benefits.
You will Learn: Graber Detox Massage
(being trademarked)
Teresa Graber has developed a massage technique designed to
effectively help in the detoxification of the lymphatic system
during a 30-minute, full-body massage. This technique is
taught to all students in her massage program. Graber, owner of
a massage/spa business and a massage school, has worked along
side 16 physicians in a large healthcare network since
1998, providing massage to their patients suffering from
muscular disorders, chronic neck and shoulder pain and lower
back pain. Her 30-minute technique can be implemented within the
time frame of an office visit in order to comply with insurance
companies for reimbursement codes. But, the true benefactors of
her technique are the patients themselves. As a result,
the detoxification process is less likely to trigger a healing
crisis (low grade fever, nausea, diarrhea) even in patients
receiving their first massage.
