Relaxation is important and beneficial, but most of your clients probably have pain or mobility issues beyond the scope of a relaxation-based massage. Providing consistent results is a powerful way to secure referrals and expand your business. The key to advanced results isn’t just adding more techniques to your resume, but rather gaining a clearer understanding of the dynamics of the body. When you understand how to think about the body more comprehensively, you can apply your techniques for faster, better results.

This course will provide a new lens through which to assess and treat the body and advanced strategies to apply the tools you already have for more effective results. Understand myofascial dynamics, the functional relationships of the body, and how to apply your hands on massage more effectively to address common pain complaints and mobility issues. We’ll discuss the common underlying structural and functional myofascial patterns related to upper and lower back pain, ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, arm, and neck issues. Learn fundamental therapeutic massage strategies to address them effectively.
