About The Event
In addition to pain and discomfort anywhere from the head to the tips of your fingers, cervical soft tissue dysfunction can contribute to weakness, decreased range of motion, headaches, and difficulty in swallowing. Anterior neck massage can be just as uncomfortable for you as it is for your client. Getting over the discomfort is the first step to addressing the entire cervical spine.
During this 3 hour session attendees will learn:
- How to approach your client about receiving anterior neck work
- The indications and contraindications of working with the anterior neck
- Various hands on techniques to obtain the desired results from the massage session
- Review the anatomy and physiology of the neck
- The role of the soft tissue in static and dynamic posture
- Why soft tissue dysfunction can cause referred pain and reduced range of motion in the head, neck, and upper extremities
This is a lecture, demonstration and self palpation class. No tables needed.
