TMTA Fall Workshop 2010
Fall Workshop Features
Geriatric Massage----Part 2
TMTA is proud to announce that Sharon Puszko, PhD, CMT will be returning as our presenter for this year’s Fall Workshop to complete the CEU course that was presented last year. Those who attended last year will qualify for the Level 1 Certificate in Geriatric Massage. In order to complete the requirements to receive this certificate, you must work on geriatric patients. TMTA has been able to work with a local assisted living facility here in Dickson to help us achieve this requirement. On Friday evening we will review what we learned last year and then on Saturday morning we will all drive over to Olive Branch Assisted Living and work on some of the residents that will be interested in our services.
Sharon Puszko, PhD, CMT is a graduate of the University of California with a major in education. After teaching Biology internationally in Europe, Asia, Central America and the Eastern United States, Sharon made a career change into the wellness field in 1986. She attended massage school in Northern California and then graduated from the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy and Health Builders School of Massage Therapy in St. Augustine, FL. Along with overseeing the function of DAY-BREAK Geriatric Massage Institute, she has a private practice and does volunteer work, and travels extensively throughout the US and internationally teaching the DAY-BREAK Geriatric Massage Level 1 and Level 2 workshops in massage schools and community colleges.
Dr. Puszko has published 12 articles in Massage & Bodywork as well as Advanced for Rehab Directors Magazine. She has also been a contributor in numerous textbooks and has appeared on public television shows such as Age Wise in Pittsburgh, PA.

TMTA’s “Locate a Massage Therapist”
It has come to our attention that our "Locate a Massage Therapist" section of our website may not
have the info you want in there for the public to see.
Please click on "Locate a Massage Therapist", find your city and check to see the information that is
listed for you. If it is not listed as you wish, please go to the "Contact Us" section of the site and send
us the corrections you wish to make. For the safety of our members, we will be deleting the street
address from this section in the near future. We have also realized that 'someone out there' is
collecting our email addresses to send spam, so your email address will also be deleted in the near
future.
We have edited our application form to correct this problem in the future. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may have caused you.
