Product Description

Instructor: Brian Utting, LMT; NCBTMB #451040-09

Day 1 (Muscle-Specific Deep Tissue Techniques for the Legs & Hips)

The legs are often treated by bodyworkers for the least amount of time in a session. Yet they support the upper body and are under tremendous compressive force, whether moving or stationary. When the structures of the feet and legs are functioning properly, they are one of the fundamental anchors of our stability and support. When they’re not, they are a major contributor to foot, knee, hip, and low back issues.

In this class, you will learn specific, potent, and effective Deep Tissue techniques to release the muscles and fascia of the hips, legs and feet. Some of the specific muscle groups you will work with include the deep calf flexors (tibialis posterior, flexor hallucis, flexor digitorum), the anterior compartment (tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum), the quadriceps group, the tensor fascia latae and IT tract, the gluteals, the deep lateral rotators, hamstrings, and adductors. These are simple, straightforward, muscle-specific techniques that can be immediately applied in practice. Body mechanics will also be a focus of the class, as well as proper use of hands, elbows, and forearms to save wear and tear on joints.

What to Bring: Set of sheets, face cradle cover, two pillows. Wear loose clothing, underwear, and bring a pair of loose fitting shorts; . Some work will be done directly on the skin of the gluteal area, so please wear underwear or drape in a way that will allow access. There is also some standing work that is done directly on skin, so please make sure you bring a pair of loose-fitting shorts for this (not lycra or spandex). Please leave everything not needed for class in your vehicle or at home. Use a large tote bag or suitcase to contain your "what to bring items".

 

Day 2 (Muscle-Specific Deep Tissue Techniques for the Hands & Arms)

Our arms and hands are tough, dexterous, 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, our hands and forearms seldom get the time or skilled attention that they deserve.

In this class we will focus on specific techniques for releasing the muscles and fascia of the hands, thumbs and forearms; increasing mobility in the corresponding joints; and 'deconstructing' forearm muscles that have become glued together. You will learn some simple but effective ways to make your arm massages more specific, potent, and satisfying--and receive some good (and much-needed) work yourself.

What participants have said about this class:

  • "Great class! The techniques that were given were all useful and specific to healthy hands, wrists, and forearms. I would repeat this one." - Nan H.
  • "All my little finger joints feel so free, and like they are lined with satin." - Melissa D'H.
  • "This class has not only improved the work I offer my clients, but given me better hand mechanics and bodywork techniques to use on my own hands and forearms, relieving pain and prolonging my career." - Rebecca A.
 

What to Bring: Set of sheets, pillow bolster, a small pillow to bolster the wrist or elbow (small buckwheat pillows are nice, travel pillows, or small bath towel), 2 pillowcases and 2 washcloths. Please leave everything not needed for class in your vehicle or at home. Use a large tote bag or suitcase to contain your "what to bring items".
