Overview

This course introduces massage therapists to neuromuscular techniques specifically applied for stress reduction, nervous system calming, and deep relaxation. Rather than a clinical or corrective focus, this course emphasizes gentle neuromuscular approaches, trigger point inhibition, pacing, pressure modulation, and client-centered techniques that support the parasympathetic response. Therapists will learn how to safely integrate neuromuscular therapy into wellness and relaxation sessions to reduce stress, muscle guarding, and sympathetic overactivation.

Day 1

Students will have a chance to discuss how their practice has evolved by adding Connective Tissue Techniques into their clinical sequences. We will review topics covered in Intro to Connective Tissue Techniques and move forward into discussing how these techniques can be used to address common orthopedic conditions. Lecture topics will include orthopedic pathologies, with discussion on the risks, benefits, accommodations, and application of massage for each. There will be live demonstrations and hands-on practice as we work through sample sequences of the conditions discussed.

Day 2

The class will review topics covered in Day 1 and continue the live demonstrations and hands-on practice of all techniques and sequences.

Coaching on technical application and proper body mechanics is major part of Jennifer Carlson's wheelhouse. You can be sure that you are in good hands with Jen and will be guided in the right direction for a successful and lengthy career.
