Our arms and hands are tough, dextrous, and exquisitely sensitive. As massage therapists, they are perhaps our primary vehicle for sensation and communication--and we use them (and sometimes overuse them) intensively. Our clients' hands and arms often take a beating as well, especially with so much computer use in the workplace and at home. For all the work that they do, arms and hands seldom get the time or skilled attention that they deserve. In this class, you will learn some simple but effective Deep Tissue Techniques to make your arm massages more specific, potent and satisfying-- and receive some good work yourself.
These are straightforward, muscle-specific techniques that can be immediately applied in practice. We will also focus on proper use of fingers, knuckles, and elbows for optimal results and to save wear and tear on joints.
What to Bring: Set of sheets, face cradle cover and pillow; wear loose clothing and women wear a bikini top or comfortable, but covering bra.

For many therapists, Deep Tissue is an important part of their tool box. Pull these tools out again and revitalize and refresh your technique. This class focuses on the arms.
