RELEASING THE SCALENES

HELPING YOU BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE

MY TEACHING IS NOT SIMPLY SHOWING YOU ANATOMY PICTURES AND THEN DEMONSTRATING TECHNIQUE.

MY GOAL FOR YOU IS TO REALLY GAIN DEEP UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE MUSCLES YOU ARE WORKING WITH, HOW THEY DEVELOP TENSION AND CAUSE YOUR CLIENTS' PAIN, AND HOW TO EFFECTIVELY RELEASE THAT TENSION TO CREATE GREATER EASE IN YOUR CLIENTS.   

Here's a glimpse at what you'll be getting in the online version of

Releasing the Scalenes

ANATOMY

In the PowerPoint portion of the training, I teach you where these muscles live and what they do

We also explore scalenes tension vs. thoracic outlet syndrome.

STRESS AND SCALENES

Learn how stress activates tension in the scalenes and a simple, effective guided breathing practice to release stress and soften the

nervous system.

WHERE TO BEGIN

Learn this very important part of the body to release FIRST to help the scalenes release

more quickly.

Hint: it's not in the neck!

DEMONSTRATION

I clearly show you how to warm up the neck, locate the scalenes and their main trigger points, and how to effectively release tension in these muscles.

About Releasing the Scalenes

2 CEs  NCBTMB

  In this online training, I guide students through the anatomy of the scalenes muscles and important structures nearby.  You will learn where the scalenes reside in the neck, how they act on the cervical spine, and what gets them into trouble.  Students will learn what kinds of symptoms the scalenes cause and what your clients will say to let you know to work on the scalenes.  

  Many of our clients, okay, ALL of our clients, are experiencing stress and perhaps locked in chronic states of stress.  Who isn't?  In this class you will learn how stress affects the scalenes muscles and a simple breathing practice that you can guide your clients through to help them relax more deeply, sink into the table, and prepare to receive the excellent work ahead.   Frankly, I use this practice as I begin EVERY SINGLE session, because everyone's got stress.  This guided breathing is something you might want to offer all your clients, not just those with scalenes issues.

  Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is clearly outlined and this scalenes treatment protocol has helped my clients get rid of this syndrome many, many times.  If you can effectively treat the scalenes, you can help someone rid themselves of TOS.  

  After I give you all that anatomy background and talk about what causes tension in these muscles, I then guide you through each step of the protocol, including some fascial stripping which EVERYONE LOVES, and trigger point location and release. 

  Once you practice this a little bit, your clients will be asking for this work EVERY TIME!  It's that good, and that effective.

 

After purchasing the course, you will receive an email detailing how to access your online membership page.  You have lifetime access to this membership site and can watch the classes as many times as you want.
