Many people, especially those whose work involves sitting for long periods, store tension in their upper bodies. That stress often remains with us in the latter part of the day, and contributes to discomfort, pain, inflexibility, migraines and other conditions. The techniques and concepts practiced in this course may be used by anyone to help relieve stress and tension in the upper body; the back, shoulder blades, shoulders, neck, head and face.

Working in all four body positions, we explore a wide variety of techniques using palms, forearms, thumbs, fingers and feet. Participants explore many new and interesting techniques to release stored tension through stretches, compressions, acupressure, and opening techniques. We also review and refine traditional Thai techniques for the shoulders, upper back, and neck. Finally, a wide variety of manual techniques and pressure points for the head and face are presented, many of which are not usually taught in general Thai massage classes.

Herbal balms are used for some of the face and neck techniques, and participants have plenty of time to give and receive each day. This is always an enjoyable workshop because the mood is meditative, the techniques are very effective, and because everyone loves to receive work on their shoulders, neck, head and face. 😉  Please join us !

 

This workshop is approved by NCBTMB and Thai Healing Alliance International (THAI) for continuing education credit.  Registration includes all materials, student manual, and certificate for 13 hours of continuing education.
