Course programme
Too often students leave upper level workshops excited about the new material learned, only to find difficulties implementing their new knowledge into their existing practices. This two-day workshop will provide you with the skills to smoothly integrate your specific deep tissue and myofascial release skills into a fluid full body massage, and will be a great refresher if you feel you need some review.
This seminar is designed for therapists who have attended previous deep tissue training and are accomplished with skills of working with layers of the body, proper body mechanics, use of different tools such as knuckles and elbows, and the protocols for working on all of the specific segments of the body.
You will learn:
-
Communication skills to educate your clients on the advantages of deep tissue massage and myofascial release to deal in detail with specific areas of their bodies that need extra attention while still performing a full body massage instead of spot work.
-
Evaluation techniques and session planning for a smooth and integrated massage to leave your clients feeling the benefits of deep work while still being integrated
-
Clear, anatomical and physiological protocols to connect all parts of the body into a fluid massage style
-
Draping suggestions to utilize different body positioning options
-
Options for tying together the massage to leave your clients feeling relaxed and energised
If it has been a while since you have taken your deep tissue training, this will be a great opportunity to hone your skills with plenty of time to work, get some great bodywork yourself, and to add clarity to your work that will energise your practice
