Draping is more than just the minimum legal speed limit on the highway of massage therapy. In practice, a single drafty tuck can instantly derail relaxation and compromise client safety. Your draping isn’t just about covering your assets; it’s a powerful clinical tool that dictates whether your client’s nervous system melts into the table or braces for impact.
This continuing education course elevates draping from a mindless exercise in folding laundry into an intentional, powerful clinical intervention. You’ll explore the legal, ethical, and neurosomatic impacts of the drape to bridge the gap between bare-minimum legal standards and true therapeutic results. Through dynamic lecture and hands-on practice, you’ll transform your draping into a foundation for trust—allowing your clients to fully let go, and allowing you to stress less and do your best work.

Medical Massage Certification: The Strenta Method
$950.00 Add to cartMedical Massage Certification: The Strenta Method
A highly immersive and experiential hands-on training focused on practical, results-oriented medical massage techniques you can immediately integrate into your practice. Therapists will deepen their clinical skills, experience hours of focused therapeutic hands-on exchange, and earn certification in Medical Massage upon completion.Course Dates:2 consecutive weekends: Saturday September 19-20 and Saturday September 26-27 (Fall 2026)9:00 am – 5:30 pm each dayCEUs: 30 NY State, 30 NCBTMBCourse DescriptionStudents step into a learning environment that is both focused and supportive. Led by instructor Janine Strenta (MA, MS, LAc, LMT) whose warmth, humor, clarity, and clinical insight receive enthusiastic feedback from students, each class explores a different region of the body and the common pathologies that affect it. Together we look at how dysfunction develops within the body’s terrain and how skilled, intentional touch can help restore balance, mobility, and ease.Learning unfolds through a rhythm of lecture, demonstration, and hands-on practice. After each concept is introduced, Janine demonstrates the techniques while the lesson is supported by instructional video so students can clearly see the work as they begin to practice. Participants then work in pairs while both instructors move through the room, offering individualized feedback and hands-on guidance at every table. This close mentorship allows therapists to refine their touch, deepen their understanding, and build confidence as they learn to work both locally—addressing the site of pathology—and more broadly, reconnecting the area back into the surrounding terrain and three-dimensional movement of the body.A meaningful aspect of this training is the structured time devoted to hands-on exchange. Each day includes approximately four hours of giving and receiving bodywork, offering therapists the rare opportunity to be on the table themselves. Experiencing skilled touch firsthand refines perception, informs technique, and reminds us of the value of receiving bodywork as part of sustainable practice.The following topics will be covered over the course of 2 consecutive weekends (4 days total):Saturday September 19- Morning: The Upper Back: kyphosis, upper back pain, disc issues, whiplash
- Afternoon: The Shoulder/Pectoral Girdle: nerve entrapment, tendonitis, frozen shoulder
Sunday September 20- Morning: The Neck: whiplash, thoracic outlet syndrome, disc issues
- Afternoon: The Lower Extremity: chondromalacia patella, sprained ankle
Saturday September 26- Morning: The Lower Back: low back pain, disc issues, lordosis
- Afternoon: The Hip: sciatica/piriformis syndrome, psoas issues
Sunday September 27- Morning: Head and Face: migraine, TMJ syndrome

- Note: Certification (and CEUs) are awarded upon successful completion of a brief hands-on skills assessment on the final day of the course. This practical evaluation gives students the opportunity to demonstrate the techniques learned during the training in a supportive environment.
