From a Thai massage and Eastern healing perspective, after we work on the lower torso, if energy and tension in the upper body is not released properly, we can leave clients feeling unbalanced, incomplete, and even vulnerable. This workshop explores a wide variety of techniques that address the shoulders, shoulder blades, clavicle, neck, head and face. In class, the techniques are practiced in traditional style on a floor mat, but many of them may be incorporated into other forms of work, such as table massage.

Working in all body positions, we explore a wide variety of techniques using feet, palms, forearms, elbows, thumbs and fingers. Participants explore new and interesting techniques to release stored tension through stretches, compressions, fascia release, and opening techniques. We also review and refine traditional Thai techniques for the shoulders, upper back, and neck. Finally, a wide variety of manual techniques and pressure points for the head and face are presented, many of which are not usually taught in continuing education classes. Herbal balms and Thai herbal water are used for some of the face and neck techniques.

Participants have ample time to give and receive each day. This is always an enjoyable workshop because the mood is meditative, and everyone loves to receive work on their shoulders, neck, head and face. Join us !
