Course programme
Course review:
This course presents ways of releasing accumulated tension in the neck and mobilising it, primarily with the client supine and seated. Techniques covered range from gentle stretches to firm massage and a variety of neck mobilisations.
We’ll also look at relevant exercises to offer the client for self-maintenance.
The workshop looks at the choice of appropriate techniques for each client. There is an emphasis on good bodyuse for the practitioner, and ‘listening’ with your hands (monitoring and adapting to the client’s responses).
