BetsyAnn Baron has been a massage therapist since 1991. In 2001 she began studying CORE Myofascial Therapy with George Kousaleos and soon after, through advanced studies, became a therapist specializing in CORE Structural Integration. Prior to becoming a therapist and instructor, BetsyAnn spent fifteen years with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal as a soloist. This gave her a unique, first-hand experience with the body, its movements and its injuries. BetsyAnn is highly regarded and appreciated as both a therapist and a teacher.
BetsyAnn is a Board Certified Structural Integrator and member of the International Association of Structural Integrators ( IASI). She also a member of the Fédération Québecoise des Massothérapeutes (FQM).
Structural Myofascial Therapy (SMFT) with curriculum developer BetsyAnn Baron
Current Schedule:Calgary, AB: Level 2–April 1-3, 2011; Level 3–August 26-28, 2011Edmonton, AB: Level 1, 2, 3; Fall 2011–Winter 2012 (exact dates to be determined)Kelowna, BC: Level 1, 2, 3; Fall 2011–Winter 2012 (exact dates to be determined)
Structural Myofascial Therapy (SMFT) is a deep, hands on therapeutic technique coupled with postural somatic awareness exercises which treat the body’s myofascial system. With slow and deliberate maneuvers, this work accesses the myofascial structure with amazing efficiency.
Clients can experience rejuvenation of injured tissue, increase in their range of motion, deeper and easier breathing, improvement in posture, decrease of chronic pain and so much more.
Level 1: Connecting with the Fascia■ Myofascial full body protocol including anatomy/physiology ■ Postural Somatic Awareness (PSA) – a fantastic, subjective evaluation tool for you, the therapist, as well as for your clients ■ Working within these 3 paradigms: palliative, corrective, integrative
Level 2: Creating Specificity■ Specific area techniques for back, hips, calves, and feet ■ Advanced work: sacro-tuberous ligament, coccyx, and pelvic floor ■ Dural balancing ■ Postural Somatic Awareness (PSA) – exploring client awareness ■ Developing treatments: global to specific and back to global
Level 3: Delving Deeper■ Techniques for psoas and iliacus and their fascial extension ■ Intra-oral techniques addressing TMJ problems and possible origins ■ Fascial hook-up techniques: occipital to distal, sacral to proximal ■ Advanced side-lying techniques ■ Continuing exploration of fascial lines and connections with advanced Postural Somatic Awareness (PSA)
SMFT will enrich the practices of massage therapists, physiotherapists, athletic therapists, osteopaths and other hands on health care professionals.

Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® Workshops(also known as SDTT)
(Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® should not be confused with high pressure treatments)
Originated and developed by Armand Ayaltin DNM, RHT, RMT, and taught by him since the late 1980’s.It consists of its own scientifically-based philosophy, therapist-friendly
assessment and treatment. To reduce burn-out, body and hand postures are ergonomically designed. Therapy takes its cue directly from the assessment. This innovative procedure is designed to minimize the mental and physical stress of the Tx room.
In these Workshops we will teach: Philosophy and background How to treat the underlying cause of pain, often realizing quick and lasting results How to Structurally Realign the body by collapsing the compensatory-matrix, using specific SDTT techniques at the physical and energetic levels which are:
recognizing the compensatory-matrix engaging the SNS manipulating the Fascial-muscle-joint systems therapeutic intent treating the relevant meridians stimulating the patient’s quantum field of healing
If as a Therapist, gaining self-confidence, self-sufficiency and effectiveness with reduced chances of self-injury is important, taking these workshops and adopting the Systemic Deep Tissue Therapy® is for you.
Testimonials:“Thank you so much for this amazing workshop. It will change my life!” W.M. RMT.
“This course surpassed my expectations...” B.C. RMT.
“ Thank goodness there is a way to read the body and respond to its core needs.” J.W. RMT.
