“Hidden Gems" Addressing the Most Commonly Overlooked Muscles of the Body

 

This workshop explores techniques for the “Diamonds and Pearls.” Commonly overlooked, but extremely important muscles of the body. Whether they are hidden beneath other well-known muscles or in areas therapists often avoid, these muscles often cause pain and dysfunction that clients experience in other areas of the body. We will explore muscles of the anterior neck, anterior torso, shoulder girdle, deep hip flexors, and adductors. You will leave with a dynamic package of NEW techniques that will enliven your massage practice!
