Deep Tissue Massage for Qualified Therapists
Tutor: Tatina Semprini
What do you do when your clients want deeper massage work than you feel confident and competent to give? This workshop will provide you with the necessary tools to develop your deep tissue massage skills.
Course contents:
Your safety first: couch height, proper body positioning and posture
Working efficiently with reinforced fingers and thumbs
For deeper work – how to use forearms, elbows and fists
Client positioning: prone, supine and side-lying work
How to use your couch for support to make your work easier
Focus will be on the back, neck, shoulders and gluteal area.
You will be taught how to work safely and effectively with all these different tools so that you can incorporate them into your own massage style. You will also be able to access certain muscle groups better by varying your client’s positioning on the couch.
On the day, you will get to practice individual techniques as well as give and receive a complete massage, incorporating all the new tools you have learnt on this workshop.
Suitable for anyone with basic Swedish massage skills.
The day will be mostly practical, so please wear suitable clothing; loose trousers, short or no sleeves, and NO nails. (We will be working deeply.)
