Here’s a snapshot of Medical Massage for Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Relief

Provide therapeutic relief from chronic or acute shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand pain with over 5 hours of bodywork and movement therapies crafted to benefit both client and therapist well being. A thorough anatomical tutorial will examine the structural and functional causes and remedies for these areas of the body, with special emphasis on generating muscle balance by releasing areas of restriction and activating and strengthening areas of weakness. Also included is a discussion on the “Bio-Psycho-Social” influences that either turn up or turn down the volume of pain. We then communicate how therapists can educate clients to make simple changes in their behavior and posture to feel better over time. The hands-on demonstrations are inspired by comprehensive and multimodal approaches from Medical and Orthopedic Massage, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, PNF, Structural Integration, Acupressure, Trigger Point Therapy, Thai Massage, and more. Finally, a section devoted to self-care and client at-home healing moves are offered so therapists can feel better in their own shoulders, elbows, hands and wrists and share these recommendations to extend the benefits between sessions. 

Melt the boulders in the shoulders, soften stubborn trap tension, and encourage a stable shoulder girdle by realigning muscle imbalances. Join us for a 360-degree exploration releasing the entire shoulder girdle, brachium and antebrachium, with special emphasis on working the shoulder in the supine and side-lying positions to provide long-lasting relief. Therapists safely release the three main areas of nerve impingement at the thoracic outlet, comprehensively melt Frozen Shoulder symptoms, and help clients restore optimal ROM to their shoulders. Highlights include orthopedic joint capsular restoration, unlocking subscapularis in supine position, and the Rainbow technique for shoulder first aid relief.
