It's rare to find massage therapists who really know how to massage the neck in a precise, specific way--especially around the small muscular attachments to the TVP's--even though this is often where the muscles are most frayed and/or inflamed. Learn specific, potent, and effective Deep Tissue techniques to release the posterior, lateral and anterior neck muscles. These include: cervical paraspinals, suboccipital triangle, levator scapula, scalenes, SCM, suprahyoids, infrahyoids, longus capitus and colli as well as others depending on time. As the anterior neck is an area of the body often glossed over in massage schools, extra attention will be given to this area.
These are straightforward, muscle-specific techniques that can be immediately applied in practice. The work is well suited to either an injury clinic or a spa, and it will increase your precision, palpatory sensitivity, and effectiveness. Body mechanics will also be a focus of these classes as well as proper use of fingers to save wear and tear on joints.
