Massage Boosters: essential lessons in bodywork
Massage Boosters is a 25-hour class designed to boost your perspective and skill from that of a single-modality practitioner, to that of a "bodyworker"; from a 2-dimensional, to a more holistic approach.
To do that, the class weaves together essential lessons in awareness, touch, feeling, assessment, and multi-dimensionality, while focusing primarily on movement. Movement is fundamental to life, and in this class you'll learn how to bring more healthy movement to the soft tissues and joints of your clients. The class draws heavily on the Trager® work I’ve studied and practiced for 20 years; but it's not about doing Trager. Rather, it's about learning how to incorporate the principles and techniques of joint release and soft-tissue mobilization into your own work – whether that's primarily Swedish, Deep Tissue, Craniosacral, Lymphatic, Shiatsu, or whatever.
There are several reasons for doing this:
To make your work easier: All the material I teach in this course is easy on your body. You don’t have to be big or strong to do it. Actually, if you do it right, it’s relaxing.
To make your work more efficient: The purpose of this material is to help you more quickly and easily release the joints and muscles, and relax the whole body. That means you can get more done in less time.
To make your work deeper: If the tissue is already relaxed, you can do the same strokes and techniques that you’ve always done, in the same ways, and they will have a deeper effect. You’ll be working deeper layers of the musculature without having to press/push/squeeze any harder.
To make your work more effective: By working more deeply, having time to work more thoroughly, and knowing how to affect more of the body’s layers and systems, you’ll be better able to address whatever specific is going on with your clients, and impact their whole being.
I find this material indispensable: it’s the core of everything I do, both on land and in water (no matter what the modality is). People often describe my work as “deep, efficient, and effective” – and it is my delight to share some of the perspective, techniques and tips I’ve learned and developed with you. (And just FYI, this class is likely to be a requirement when the Harbin School of Healing Arts begins offering its “Harbin Bodyworker” certifications; and it is definitely a prerequisite for my more advanced Adaptive Integrative Massage course, coming up in the winter of 2016.)
