SEATTLE, February 17, 2010 – Mike Hamm, LMP, CCST and an instructor at Cortiva Institute – Seattle massage school, will be the featured speaker in BODIES – The Exhibition on Saturday, February 27 from 11 – 11:45 a.m. Hamm will speak on “The Benefits of Massage” at the BODIES… The Exhibition located at 1505 5th Avenue in downtown Seattle.
Cortiva Institute was invited by the Education and Outreach Department of BODIES… the Exhibition to participate in its Saturday Public Education Lecture Series. Hamm’s presentation will include a discussion of the benefits of massage as well as a demonstration of a few home massage techniques that people can do for themselves or their loved ones.
“We think it is a perfect opportunity to share the benefits of massage with a group of people interested in learning more about the human body,” said Hamm. “Our hope is that, with a newfound appreciation for their bodies, people will be more inclined to take an active role in their wellness – including giving and receiving massage.
Hamm was asked to take part in this presentation because of his experience in education, his participation in massage research and his expertise in bodywork. As an instructor at Cortiva Institute – Seattle, Hamm teaches anatomy, research literacy and a variety of technique-based courses. He was the winner of the Massage Therapy Foundation’s 2005 Student Case Report Contest, and serves as a reviewer for the Massage Therapy Journal and the Foundation’s professional contest.
