Neck and Shoulder Treatment Using Non-Force Deep Tissue Massage

Class Description: Every professional bodyworker should have the expertise, sensitivity and skills to safely and efficiently address chronic neck pain as well as neck strain syndromes. Equally as important is technical ability to treat tension and injuries in the rotator cuff muscles. This course will train the therapist in non-force deep tissue techniques and trigger point release for the anterior, medial and posterior neck muscles as well as all four SITS muscles and the associated muscles of the upper back, arm, and chest.  Positional Release techniques assist in sinking deep into the muscles without pain.  Lymphatic flushing techniques will be demonstrated to relieve inflammation in the tissues. Muscle melting (non-force deep tissue) will be our approach to releasing the muscles without force or pain.
