Join us for a fun experiential anatomy class designed for the massage therapist. We will be learning all the major muscles of the body using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modes of learning. We will make muscles out of clay and place them in layers on a skeleton model.
As we learn the muscles we will be palpating the muscles on each other and learning different massage techniques that can be done for that muscle, including stretching, counterstrain, and soft tissue release techniques. We also will be covering relevant physiology, health and hygiene, and contraindications to massage.

Some clients may not be able to lay on their back or stomach, so it is important to be able to massage them in a position in which they are comfortable. Your client's body is not a pancake to be flipped over in the middle of a massage, but rather is a three dimensional structure. Some areas such as the shoulders, low back and hips can be accessed best when the client is laying on their side. Learn effective techniques for these areas as well as a flowing full body massage that can be done in the sidelying position. Proper draping and use of bolsters will be shown.

Techniques learned in sports massage can be applied to any client. Your body does not know the difference between an extensor tendinitis caused by an improper backhand in tennis, or by too much work on the computer. Learn techniques to help all your clients in this information packed workshop.
Sports massage is designed to improve athletic performance, or aid in the recovery or rehabilitation of an athlete after an injury or event. Many different modalities are used, and an understanding of the physiological basis is important in knowing which modalities to use in a given situation.

Modalities covered will include PNF Stretching, Reciprocal Inhibition, Cross Fiber, Strain Counterstrain and Trigger Point Therapy, Cryotherapy, Pre and Post-event Massage, and positional release techniques.
