Module 3: Deeper work on the back and shoulders & head and face massage
We start understanding the value of deep massage and stretches for remedial treatments of the shoulders. Always remembering contraindications, and when it is more helpful that pressure is mild rather than deep.
We work mostly from a prone position, so we can learn some deeper work on the back and shoulders. We also work from a supine position, to add more relaxing techniques, by learning to work on the head and face. We also learn some deeper stretches for the back, neck and shoulders, and some more all-important tractions to release tension in the low back and hip area.
These techniques are wonderful to use on their own as a complete treatment with a focus on the back and shoulders. Or, they can be integrated into a full body treatment.
How clients will benefit: we cover some relaxing techniques, but in module 3 we also introduce some deep, remedial work on the back and shoulders. So we can help clients relax into treatments, and we can also help with almost all kinds of shoulder pain. We also start work towards helping reduce back pains. The low back work that we learn here is complemented wonderfully with some of the tractions and mobilisations that we learn in module 2, the leg and hip massage and stretches that we learn in module 4 and the hip flexor massage and stretches that we learn in module 5.
