✨ **Fascia Release Therapy for the Lower Body**

📍 Toms River Campus
📅 August 8–9, 2026
⏰ 9:30am–5:00pm
🎓 **14 CEs for LMTs**

Deepen your understanding of how the fascia of the low back, pelvis, hips, and lower limbs work together as an interconnected system.

Over two hands-on days, you'll learn to:

✔ Assess lower-body movement patterns and tissue quality
✔ Apply fascia release techniques with greater precision and intention
✔ Understand how posture, gait, and load transfer influence pain and dysfunction
✔ Improve treatment planning for more meaningful, lasting outcomes
✔ Refine your own body mechanics for a more sustainable career

If you regularly work with clients experiencing low back pain, hip restrictions, or lower-body dysfunction, this course will give you practical skills you can put to work immediately.

📌 Please bring unscented cream (no oils), a notebook, and a pen.

Register early—space is limited!

West New York, NJ Campus Update

Thank you to everyone who has supported our West New York campus over the years!!

Due to the sale of the building where our campus was located, we were unfortunately unable to renew our lease, and this location has permanently closed.

The good news is that Body in Mind Massage Institute is still open and thriving at our Toms River campus, where we continue to offer our Massage Therapy Certification Program, Continuing Education classes, and Student Massage Clinic.

Our ownership team is actively exploring opportunities for a future location in northern New Jersey. While we don't have a timeline to announce just yet, we hope to serve the area again in the future.

Hope to see you at our Toms River campus soon!

If you're interested in becoming a massage therapist, we'd love to talk with you about our Toms River campus and answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming future students when the time is right.

Not every client can comfortably lie face down.
And not every treatment should look the same.
