    Deep Tissue Massage Course Basics (in English)

    Deep Tissue Massage Course Basics (in English)

    The Deep Tissue Massage Course teaches you a form of deep tissue massage that focuses on both the muscles and the fascia. The layers of connective tissue and the muscles this fascia surrounds. In this course we learn that deep does not mean “digging in” but rather you will learn specialized techniques of how to sink in and release restrictions in both the fascia and the muscles. We learn techniques to create more space and movement where movements we are restricted.

    Deep Tissue Massage Course Basics

    This deep connective tissue or myofacial release method is very effective because it works with the parasympathetic nervous system in order to create deep and lasting change. This Deep tissue massage is also about massaging without injuring yourself. This means that body-mechanics and self-care are a fundamental part of this course. We also learn how to perform these techniques in a way that keeps the client comfortable by using a caring approach! While other deep tissue massage techniques can be harsh and painful, this Deep Tissue Massage Course ensures you work deeply without over doing it. This way, you don’t treat the armor but you truly reach the deeper layers by learning how to navigate the musculoskeletal system with warm hands, an open heart and the power of intention.
