Course programme

Deep massage and mobilising techniques for the shoulders

The day begins with a review of the main muscles of this area, looking at them in their functional groups to help make sense of them. Students will then work with the client in a prone position, which enables therapists to get at a large number of the muscles that relate to the shoulder girdle and the arm.

The workshop then explores the choice of appropriate techniques, ways of moderating the pressure, how to blend them smoothly into a massage session, and relevant exercises to offer the client for self-maintenance. There is an emphasis on good body use for the practitioner, and "listening" with your hands (monitoring and adapting to the client’s responses).
