This course covers 20 carefully chosen Assisted Stretching Postures From Thai Massage and how to perform them on the massage table. These techniques are assisted stretching of fascia, tendons, ligaments and muscles at their best! Assisted Stretching is within the scope of Massage Therapy, focusing on connective tissue stretching which is very different from muscle massage.
First and foremost, it’s about slowing down. We spend the first day exploring what myofascial release is (no experience required!) with lots of long, static contacts. We’ll use the weight of our own bodies to apply pressure, experimenting with different body mechanics along the way. You’ll feel tight muscle melt away under your hands, and I’m hoping you’ll find that you can be comfortable, even while working deeply.
