Healing through Deep Bodywork: Deep Tissue Techniques for Massage Practitioners-Level I

Deep Bodywork, practiced with great sensitivity, is one of the most effective healing modalities available to the bodywork practitioner. Through slowly opening the body’s deeper soft-tissue layers, we connect the mind to normally unconscious, “stuck” areas of the physical body, which can release enormous amounts of previously “held” energy. This energy in turn becomes available to support the body’s innate capacity to self-organize and self-heal, enabling practitioners to support clients in overcoming previously stubborn, seemingly intractable physical conditions.

This program will focus on exploring Deep Bodywork as a healing art. It is designed for massage and bodywork practitioners seeking to incorporate effective deep-tissue techniques into their work. Whether in private practice or working in a spa, the demand is growing for practitioners who have mastered the art of moving deeply into the body with skill and sensitivity.

Areas of focus will include relieving chronic and acute pain in the back and around the major joints of the shoulder and hip. A good deal of time will be spent learning to recognize how to feel “soft-tissue lesions” with the hands and learning why, at physiological and energetic levels, competent deep bodywork needs to be done slowly to be most effective.

Previous experience in massage is recommended for this advanced level seminar.
