“I use the different techniques I’ve learned from John Ray on almost every client that I have.” – Lori
DIT for Treating Neck Pain, Hypertonicity, & Related Conditions
Millions of people carry tremendous tension in their neck – including a lot of massage therapists! With DIT, therapists have the tools they need to work effectively on a variety of neck conditions. For many of our students, this comment from satisfied clients is common: ‘No one has ever worked on my neck like that before.’

This class will give you the tools you need to help your clients feel as if their neck is brand new. You will learn real tools that you can use right away in your practice, maximizing the effectiveness of your massage technique while minimizing stress on your body.
The areas of focus include the major anterior neck muscles (SCM, scalenes, hyoids, etc.) and posterior neck muscles (levator scapula, upper trapezius, suboccipitals, splenius, superior erector spinae and transversopinalis group), as well as other supporting muscles and structures.
You will practice a specific combination of myo-fascial, neuro-muscular, and cranial-sacral techniques for relieving tight neck muscles and fascia – a blend of deep and gentle techniques that are very effective when used together.
We will explore the muscle and fascial anatomy of the neck, as well as common compensation patterns and trigger point referral patterns, and demonstrate how these can be relieved using the DIT techniques.
“I can say without a doubt that taking your classes has made a huge difference in my work, business and most of all for my clients! Receiving that bodywork helped my neck issues and has made it possible for me to continue doing what I love,massage!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!!” (Lori)
This DIT for the Neck class combines well with the DIT for the Shoulder and Arm and DIT for TMJ classes.
