Massage therapy involves the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person’s well-being.

The credential can also be your springboard into different healthcare careers. Some of our past graduates have gone on to become chiropractors, acupuncturists, nurses and more. WHY MASSAGE THERAPY? Because you are a healer at heart. You want to help people. You want to be part of a movement toward integrative health care. You want to be a healer.

It is always a privilege for me to speak with future massage therapists. You will quickly learn that the art and science of massage is one of my greatest passions. I became a massage therapist in 1998, pairing it with CranioSacral Therapy. Later, seeking a bigger scope of practice, I graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2008 and then obtained my Master’s in Acupuncture in 2016. Today I am honored to serve as the Massage Therapy Program Director and Director of Integrative Care at Northwestern, where we are pioneering a movement toward multidisciplinary and integrative health care. It is an exciting time to practice. Massage therapists are a vital piece of the entire picture of person-centered health care, and we are growing in importance. When we work as a unified team, we are able to provide more complete care. As you explore a career in massage therapy, I encourage you to look upon the field of massage and the state of health care with curiosity. Be curious about how people heal. Be open to new ways of seeing the world. Be willing to learn new methods. All of this will help make you a strong and dedicated healer. At Northwestern, you will find an emphasis on evidence-based curriculum and integrative care—two qualities that make us stand out as an institution. If you have a passion for healing touch and a deeply felt desire to make others feel better in body, mind and spirit—I encourage you to continue learning about us. I look forward to welcoming you on campus as a massage therapy student!

Your clinical education can include training in Northwestern’s public clinics, in hospitals and in community health clinics, which will help you stand out to potential employers. You can enroll in the A.A.S. program immediately or pursue an A.A.S. degree after you get a certificate. By earning this degree, you are prepared to work in a hospital or clinic setting, a chiropractic office, an integrated care clinic and many other settings.

You will study alongside like-minded students in various healthcare disciplines as you learn. Studying with fellow healers-to-be prepares you for a multidisciplinary care approach that is becoming increasingly common in hospitals, medical clinics, chiropractic offices and other healthcare facilities. 2. We hold ourselves to a higher standard All massage therapy programs are not equal.

    Minnesota - Wikipedia, the freevisited encyclopedia on 3/1/2016 Page 1 of 15 Coordinates: 46°N 94°W Minnesota From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Minnesota ( i/mɪnᵻˈsoʊtə/; locally [ˌmɪnəˈso̞ ɾə]) is a state in the Midwestern United States. State of Minnesota Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd state on May 11, 1858, created from the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory. The name comes from the Dakota word for "clear blue water".[5] Owing to its large number of lakes, the state is informally known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Its official motto is L'Étoile du Nord (French: Star of the North). Minnesota is the 12th largest in area and the 21st most populous of the U.S. States; nearly 60 percent of its residents live in the Minneapolis –Saint Paul metropolitan area (known as the "Twin Cities"), the center of transportation, business, Flag Seal industry, education, and government and home to an internationally known arts community. The Nickname(s): Land of 10,000 Lakes; remainder of the state consists of western prairies now given over to intensive agriculture; North Star State; The Gopher State; The State of deciduous forests in the southeast, now partially cleared, farmed and settled; and the less populated Hockey. North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and recreation. Motto(s): L'Étoile du Nord (French: The Star of the North) Minnesota is known for its idiosyncratic social and political orientations and its high rate of civic participation and voter turnout. Until European settlement, Minnesota was inhabited by the Dakota and Ojibwe/Anishinaabe. The large majority of the original European settlers emigrated from Scandinavia and Germany, and the state remains a center of Scandinavian American and German American culture.

  • 1 2016 U.S. Women's Football Leagues Addendum
    2016 U.S. Women’s Football Leagues Addendum New Mexico Adult Football League – Women’s Division (NMAFL-W) – 2015 Season The NMAFL-W launched in 2015 with five teams in New Mexico. The Alamogordo Aztecs failed to complete the season, while the Amarillo Lady Punishers joined the league late and absorbed four forfeit losses before even getting out of the gate. But the Lady Punishers were formidable once they got started, upsetting the previously undefeated Roswell Destroyers in the playoffs to make it to the first NMAFL-W title game. That opened the door for the Santa Fe Dukes to swoop in and capture the NMAFL-W championship at the conclusion of the league’s first season.

  • This Document Is Made Available Electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library As Part of an Ongoing Digital Archiving Project
    p This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp E "Remember this fair." I said this daily during the 2009 Great Minnesota Get-Together to our hard-working staff and the dedicated members of our board of managers. It was clear during the first days of the fair that something very amazing was going on, and that's saying a lot for an institution that's provided more than 150 years of"amazing." The '09 State Fair's program of agriculture, education, entertainment and commerce was current, relevant and. as vibrant as ever. The historic State Fairgrounds never looked better and, as a bonus, the 12-day exposition was blessed with great weather. Minnesotans responded in a big way. Ifyou ask 100 people why they attend the State Fair, you will get many different answers. Sometimes, though, the best answers come from far away. A travel writer from Japan wrote that he came to the Minnesota State Fair "because I wanted to see and touch real life and culture in America." That's the essence of the fair experience: It's real. It's life and it's culture and unlike most of today's digitized virtual reality, you can touch it. For Minnesotans, our problems are left outside the gates as we reconnect with each other in a colossal celebration of all that is good about our state. The State Fair inspires and renews us unlike anything else.

Linden © 2016 Andrew D. Linden Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2016 ii The dissertation of Andrew D. Linden was reviewed and approved* by the following: Jaime Schultz Associate Professor of Kinesiology and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Mark Dyreson Professor of Kinesiology R. Scott Kretchmar Professor of Exercise and Sport Science Nan Elizabeth Woodruff Professor of Modern U.S. History and African American Studies Stephen J. Piazza Professor of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director, Department of Kinesiology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Politics and political movements appeared in professional football since the sport emerged. However, because the National Football League (NFL) was not yet popular across the country, these issues had little effect on the broader culture. In the second half of the century, the NFL became the most popular consumer sport in the country. Conflicts between labor and capital, between men and women, between races and ethnicities, and between groups associated with the broader counterculture and liberation movements were brought by political advocates into the sport. Nonetheless, throughout this same time, the league had political priorities of its own and endorsed certain political issues while not engaging others. In this dissertation, I utilize a “multiple histories” approach to analyze the effect of social movements on the NFL and demonstrate the influence of political football in American culture.
