In the past couple of days, I’ve worked on clients ranging in age from a six-year-old girl (” 6 1/2 “) to an 80-year-old woman and several in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s. And they all had one thing in common. Their scalene and suboccipital muscles were tremendously tight. I was surprised to find that even in such a young individual.
In the Direct-Indirect Technique and Cranial-Sacral Therapy classes we’re doing in April and May, you learn and practice excellent techniques to loosen up those neck muscles and many, many others. Each of these clients loved how their neck felt after their massage.
In the Muscle Balancing and Joint Stabilization class, you look at weak muscles that are causing nearby muscles to tighten up and compensate for these weaknesses. Using easy-to-learn techniques you see how quickly you can find weak muscles and make them stronger. This helps stabilize the joints and prevent imbalances that can often lead to falls, injuries, and long recovery times.
These techniques help YOU the therapist as much as your clients to stay strong and help prevent injury and excess stress on your joints. You can also use them with your family and friends. Many therapists tell me that they use these Muscle Balancing techniques every day, because they’re so quick and easy to use. And they feel great! I use them every day myself.
