Course Goals:
To deepen intuitive touch, a thorough look into origins & insertion as well as nerve innervation to gain an understanding of the domino effect of tissue and how they play a role.
Learn how to coheres the tissue layers from superficial to deep then from deep to superficial to achieve homeostasis.
To utilize tools as an extension of our hands intuitively and in a variety of ways or techniques that will offer the results based off the tissues being manipulated.
For body and tools, we will learn how to look at the body/tissues as a three-D jigsaw puzzle and learn think about, not only how to put it back together but in what order.
Learning Objectives / Outcomes:
Body: Move from general questions to specific intake questions, pairing body topicals for goals, advanced visual assessment & open dialogue on how to determine what’s involved. Honing in on intuitive touch, palpation, response of tissues, transitions, muscular agonists, antagonists, synergistic muscle groups. Involve the connective tissue for relief and how to offer therapeutic results for clients offering light, med & ‘deep’ pressure adjusting our mechanics, circulation flow, lymphatic stimulation, and in-depth muscular origins, insertions & nerve innervations.
Tools: Utilize a selection of tools in ordinary (yet advanced) and unordinary ways, choosing products to support your goals, advanced visual assessment, touch assessment, palpation response, transitions, and tissue specific techniques.
Massage Therapists and Body Workers will advance their intuitive touch, utilize topicals as second nature, offer corrective treatments without breaking our bodies, offer treatments that are no longer a ‘routine’, learn how to adjust pressure based on the body’s responses and offer corrective care face massage with tools.
Estheticians will advance their therapeutic back massage and continue to expand their shoulder, neck, face & scalp routines. Body treatments will be superior and a continuation of confident touch will be delivered. Facials will include expanded touch to open the path for lymphatic movement and corrective tool use will greatly enhance your results.
Everyone will leave with the ability to offer original, and highly skilled massage treatments specific to the client for body and face.
