Sore necks, shoulders, arms, and hands are commonly experienced by bodyworkers as a result of the physical and postural demands that come with our job. This particularly hands-on class will teach deep tissue approaches that address the underlying “flexor dominant pattern” of body use, affecting the spine and shoulder girdle.
Orthopedic, myofascial, and joint mobilization techniques for pain relief and increased range of motion will be explained, demonstrated, and practiced. Body mechanics, palpatory accuracy, positional strategies, and self help skills will also be covered in an effort to work with more ergonomic awareness and practice preventative care.
