Synergetic Neural and Fascial Pathways - 12 CE Hours

March 14-15, 2026

  

Course Description:

  Join Structural Integrators Magnus Eklund BCSI, LMT 144, & Bobbi Eklund CSSI, LMT 2629  

This course explores the dynamic interplay between the fascial network and the nervous  system — how they communicate, compensate, and co-regulate movement, posture, and pain. Through the  Synergetic Myofascial Method, students will learn manual and energetic approaches to unwind tension in  both systems while improving body awareness, mobility, and resilience. This is ideal for practitioners ready to  work beyond the muscular layer and into the integrated architecture of nerves, fascia, and energy.  

Goal: To provide bodyworkers with practical tools and embodied understanding to assess, unwind, and  reintegrate the neck, pelvis, spine, feet and upper body using Synergetic Fascial Neural principles. The course  integrates anatomical, functional, and energetic approaches to restore stability, mobility, and fascial and  energetic flow from the head down.

Table Thai Rx 16CE Weekend Immersion

April 25-26, 2026

 

Our Table Thai CE courses are designed to build upon the principles of professional touch that are taught in massage school. Therefore, we require our students to have a license to practice massage therapy as a prerequisite to taking our Thai Massage courses. Having this prerequisite allows us to place a strong focus on technique application during our classes. Previous Thai Massage experience is not required to enjoy sharing all of the incredible new bodywork techniques you will learn in class. Current Thai Massage practitioners, join us to reinvigorate and inspire your current practice. Our one day Table Table Rx courses can be taken at any time, in any order.

Table techniques are applied with the therapist keeping at least one foot on the floor at all times. Some techniques may require LMTs to sit on the table and have one or both knees on the table at the same time. Modifications that keep the feet on the floor are presented as available.

At the end of the training LMTs will receive a CE certificate of completion to verify board approved continuing education and satisfy massage licensure renewal requirements. Additionally, LMTs will have a unique sequence of techniques that can be used as a stand-alone treatment or integrated in with other techniques as indicated with each client.

A strong, sturdy and wide massage table is recommended for serious practitioners. LMTs are strongly advised to prepare to complete practice sessions immediately after each class. Post-class practice is considered the self-study component to each table CE course. 

Instructor Charlene Gaffney has been a licensed massage therapist since 2001 and has teaching experience in both entry-level and continuing education environments since 2004. She is a registered instructor with the Thai Healing Alliance International, a Certified Massage and Bodywork Educator with the AFMTE, a certified yoga instructor and the founder/curriculum specialist for Elevate Massage Training. She has studied Thai massage and ashiatsu extensively with many reputable teachers in the US and Thailand and makes frequent trips to Thailand since 2014.
