I've Got Your Back - Special Back Techniques

Course Description:

“I’ve Got Your Back” is one of the best things you could hear from your regular massage professional. With nine in ten people experiencing painful and debilitating back pain at some time in their lives, it seems that our backs can never get enough of the right kind of massage. For that reason, Body Wisdom’s “I’ve Got Your Back” – Special Back Techniques module is looking to put a whole new set of tools into your massage kit. Your work will become more effective and you’ll exert less effort to gain those improved results. Your clients will thank you again and again. That’s a formula for massage success!

In a compatible approach sprinkled throughout all the other Body Series Courses we start by working through the superficial layers of muscle and fascia before getting to the deeper layers with specific work for QL, 12 rib, Iliac crest and all the ligaments in the general area. A relaxing opening and closing sequence to wrap things up and you have a neat little package to augment your normal massage approach.

A great class for all levels with a special purpose in mind, “I’ve Got Your Back” – Special Back Techniques will explore every way possible to relieve back troubles, including one of the number one complaints that massage therapists need to address: lower back pain.
