Instructor:   Robert White, LMT, DIM, CEP  Doctor of Integrative Massotherapy Licensed Massage Therapist Certified Ear Candling Practitioner Certified Foot Detox Practitioner     About Robert:   Robert received his formal massage training at the Potomac Massage Training Institute (PMTI) in Washington, D.C., graduated in 2006 and received his national certification in 2007. In addition he participated in the Georgetown University Mini Medical School, a program designed to create a peer relationship between students of medicine and massage. In 2008 he went on to further his career goal by attending the Institute for Therapeutic Massage in Pompton Lakes, N.J. where he studied Hospital based orthopedic massage, and had an opportunity to practice at the Robert E. Johnson University of Medicine and dentistry, Institute for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.   In 2010 Robert joined the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine where his practice thrived, and he was named as the lead massage practitioner. Furthering his vision for the massage industry, Robert received his Doctorate of Integrative Massotherapy from the First National University of Therapeutics which is a federally chartered school and has been in existence since 1906, and known as one of the oldest schools that offer degrees in alternative medicine.  Massotherapy (or massage therapy) is the treatment of disorders of the human body through "hands on" manipulation of the soft tissues. Massotherapy is also a kind of "preventative medicine." It is used to relieve physical stress and imbalance before they develop into serious problems. Within the Doctor of Massotherapy degree program that Robert attended he studied advanced bodywork modalities. These therapies augment conventional medical care.   Robert is also certified in Reflexology, Acupressure, Ear Candling, Foot Detox, and Lymphatic Drainage.
