Keith is a graduate of Southwest Acupuncture College (SWAC), where he completed a 3000 hour Masters degree in Oriental Medicine. While the main focus in acupuncture was more Traditional Chinese Medicine, Keith was also trained in Japanese styles as well. While both methods are equally effective, Japanese style utilizes thinner gauge needles and less vigorous manipulation of the needles, making for a less invasive treatment. SWAC's courses are noted for their extensive coursework in Anatomy and Physiology, Chinese Herbology, Western Pathology and lengthy clinical rotations.
Keith was certified as a Rolfer in 1997 by the Rolf Institute of Boulder, CO during the 700 hour basic course. He later completed 300 more hours of continuing education and advanced coursework, and became certified as an advanced Rolfer in 2001. Keith has been a Massage Therapist in private practice since 1993. He graduated from the reputable Cayce Reilly school of Massotherapy in 2004 from their 600 hour program, integrating physiotherapy with transpersonal studies. His massage practice specializes in deep tissue, sports massage, and Swedish massage.
Keith has also taken classes in Visceral Manipulation, CranioSacral Therapy, Reflexology, Tui Na, Shiatsu, and Hydrotherapy. Keith majored in Physical Education with a concentration in Sports Medicine from Radford University, with a separate 1500 Hour internship in Athletic Training. He was the Head Athletic Trainer for two years at a private school in Virginia Beach, and was a practicing Emergency Medical Technician from 1988 to 2000. Keith has been an assistant instructor in a variety of classes at SWAC since September, 2006. He offers a variety of techniques and personal insights to meet your diverse health needs.
