A great way to end the CE season! Get some excellent shoulder, arm, and hand massage for yourself while learning these awesome techniques.

Here's some of what we will do:

• Super smooth strokes to hydrate the tissues, which means the muscles let go more easily and you work smarter, not harder.
• Deep compression/long steady hold techniques, which means the nervous system calms down and the client feels greater relaxation.
• Positioning and propping the client well, which means you can use your body weight more effectively.
• How to use your body weight effectively over the table, which means you will hurt less and be able to do massage work as long as you want, not just until your body gives out.
• How to use your knuckles, elbows, forearms, and in some instances even your knees, shins, and feet (!) which means you save our hands and wrists for the long haul.
• Attention to key trigger points in the area that are important to know how to treat.
• Draping techniques so the client feels safe, which means that they can relax more deeply and your work is more effective.
• Long glides that run the full length of the muscles and muscle groups, which means all the tissues in the area are ready for more specific work should you choose.
• Encouragement to play, explore, FEEL what’s going on for your client and follow their tensional lines, which means your work will be more engaged and effective.
• Palpation skills which feel incredible to your clients, which means you keep track of where you are and they just feel, well, awesome!
