Manual Ligament Therapy™ is a brand new, cutting-edge therapy with a patent-pending. MLT™ uses the sensory qualities of ligaments to relieve hypertonic muscles and rebalance joint space. The end result is proper structural alignment of the body with very little effort on the clinician's part.
Research studies at International Universities have revealed that ligaments are a significant source of acute, sub-acute, and chronic muscle pain and dysfunction. MLT™ is the only known technique that recognizes this fact while other therapies normally just address the muscles and tendons. With this advantage, MLT™ is able to resolve both simple and difficult injuries and pathologies quickly, and with little or no discomfort to the recipient.

In stone massage, both hot and cold stones are combined with various massage techniques to produce a unique treatment that can be adapted to meet the needs of each client. Stone massage can be used for relaxation, injury rehabilition, energy balance, deep tisse, and reflexology treatments. It can also be incorporated into spa treatments as an accent or to provide textual variety.
The foundation workshop of ABST prepares participants to deliver a 90 minute full body stone massage and create therapeutic aromatherapy blends. Detailed demonstrations, plenty of hands-on practice and a comprehensive packet of written materials, diagrams and pictures make this workshop popular and practical.
