West Wind Massage School

Swedish Massage
Each student shall demonstrate a comprehensive working knowledge of the anatomy, kinesiology and physiology of the body as it relates to Swedish massage.
Deep Tissue Massage
31 years of research and development to perfect and implement these ideas. The Blakey Method is not static. It is continually being updated with new ideas and knowledge. It was designed to work with the entire population: athletic, non-athletic, active, sedentary, young, old, healthy, or unhealthy. It was born out of a necessity of helping David Blakey, the Director of West*Wind Academy, deal with chronic pain in his back. Even though individual elements of this method can be found in other body therapies such as: CONNECTIVE TISSUE, DEEP TISSUE, POLARITY, REFLEXOLOGY, CRANIOSACRAL, MYOTHERAPY, DEEP MUSCLE, MYOFASCIAL RELEASE, TRAGER, CROSS FIBER FRICTION, BODY MOBILIZATION, ADVANCED PALPATION, ACUPRESSURE, NEUROMUSCULAR, AND ADVANCED USE OF FOREARMS AND ELBOWS. Make no mistake, the Blakey Method is unique in its approach in dealing with the musculature and connective tissues of the body. When David's back was chronically hurting, he was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to experience many different body therapies. What he noticed was that no one therapy was able to provide complete relief. However, each one had certain techniques that made him feel better. When David decided to pursue a career in massage, he borrowed the best movements and philosophies from each. He then put them all together in what can truly be called an eclectic approach to massage therapy. For further information, read “The Development of the Blakey Method.”
Sports Massage
For example, a type of massage that is gaining in popularity is sports massage. Those who advocate it state that "Sports Massage" training is necessary for any therapist who desires to work on athletes, even those already well trained in massage. I believe, however, that if a person is properly trained in massage and has a good working knowledge of anatomy and the sensitivity of touch, he or she will be effective on athletes and non-athletes alike. Of course the therapist will have to adapt the movements to fit the individual. For example, a person in a nursing home will require much less pressure than a young healthy person, but the same information can be applied.
