Ken Laymon NMT, PAS Certification CAMTC #511 A member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) (since 2001) Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB) (since 2001) Certified Personal Trainer from the Paul Chek Institute as a exercise Coach (in 2005) Certified as a Postural Alignment Specialist (PAS) from Egoscue University (since 2007) and the Advanced class (in 2008)Certified Fascial Stretch Therapist (FST) level I from the Stretch to Win Insttiute (in 2014) I have been in practice as a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2000. The massage school I went to was the Western Institute of Neuromuscular (WIN) Therapy, one of their focus points was sports injuries. I graduated with 1000 hours. I think there is a need to keep taking continuing education to stay up to date with new techniques and philosophies on massage. (You can view a list of the classes I have taken at the bottom of the page). I am Board Certified in Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (BCTMB) and a member of the (AMTA) American Massage Therapy Association. To better understand the injuries and mechanics of weight training I became certified as a personal trainer through Paul Chek Institute, I also took several classes at Irvine Valley College through their Fitness Specialist program. I have found that when you have bad posture or your posture is out of alignment, it plays havoc on your body and will cause you discomfort or pain, so I went to Egoscue University and became a (PAS) Postural Alignment Specialist. I take all that information and the techniques I have learned, to create a massage session that will be beneficial to you.
