Graduation @ Ann Arbor Institute of Massage Therapy
Kevin Graduated from the Ann Arbor Institute of Massage Therapy in March 2005  in a challenging 700hour program with training and certificates in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Kinesiology, Swedish Massage, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Sports Massage, Myofascial Therapy & Neuromuscular Therapy. He has done massages at UofM , EMU and Cranbrook Institute working on the Administrative Staff. Kevin Graduated with Honors.


Following graduation, his professional experience was extensive, including a salon in Belleville, Michigan, a chiropractic office in Westland, MI and a day spa in Plymouth, Michigan. He also has done many outreach events at various locations including the Michigan State Fair, performing chair massages for the DISCOVERY HEALTH CHANNEL and more recently the 2008 Weight Loss Expo at the Rock Financial ShowPlace as well as Seated Massage at Eastern Michigan University Campus during final exams.

Gloria & Kevin at the front deskIn April, 2006 Kevin opened "The NeuroMuscular Junction Wellness Center"  wanting to provide better service through educating his clientele on the necessity of  them being part of their own healing process by learning body awareness and performing self-care techniques. He shares information about the muscles he's working on so that the client can get a better sense of their own body. He believes that neuromuscular massage therapy should be applied BEFORE the client has major problems with their health. It is much easier to keep your health than to try to get it back, and it is a lot less expensive! Do you really want the medical bills to pile up on top of all the pills they might give you? At the Neuromuscular Junction Wellness Center, we want to make an HONEST LIVING helping you KEEP your health!

Kevin continues to educate himself through Continued Education Courses. in the fall of 2008, he finished his Neuromuscular Therapy Certification through the Ann Arbor Institute of Massage Therapy, completing the 4th NMT class and also a course in Active Isolated Stretching. 2009 we attended the World Massage Conference - An online continuing education program where therapists & bodyworkers can attend online lecture presentations.

In March 2010, the NeuroMuscular Junction Wellness Center has started a new protocol of Postural Assessment using a Postural Analysis Grid Chart, by taking photos of the client in front of this grid to show any distortion, allowing the client to see it for themselves! This will improve our ability to figure out which muscles and areas of the body will need specific manual therapy, stretching or strengthening! We are also taking steps to improve upon our orthopedic assessment methods.

Charity: Run Drugs Out of Town (RDOT) 5k/10k Run.

Saturday, June 13 2009 the NeuroMuscular Junction Wellness Center attended the "Run Drugs Out of Town" 5k & 10k Runs at Nankin Mills, Hines Park in Livonia, Michigan held by the
http://www.saveouryouthtaskforce.com/. Despite the rain, the event had a great turn out! Kevin worked with approximately 30 or so runners giving them SPORTS MASSAGE. One runner wasn't sure about getting massage BEFORE she ran. Kevin convinced her to try it that her muscles & body will perform more efficiently and prevent injury if she received massage for increased circulation in the muscles. After she came back, she was SOO HAPPY and excitedly told Kevin, "It Worked! I beat my old record!". This just PROVES that being proactive in using massage will give you OPTIMAL RESULTS IN PERFORMANCE IN ANY SPORT!

Weight Loss Expo November, 2008

In 2008 We set up our booth at the Weight Loss Expo at the Rock Financial Show Place in Novi, Michigan. I knew that there would be other massage therapists at this event, and most likely they would be offering Seated Massage - SO - I decided to bring my table to offer more dynamic NeuroMuscular Therapy. Things were slow at first, but when I got my first person to work on, I ended up with a WAITING LIST that spanded into the next day!
