Back Stripes and More—Seated Integrative Bodywork 2024

Back Stripes & More: A Deep Dive into Integrative Bodywork in the seated position.
4 Contact Hour CEs, NCBTMB Approval Pending

$100

The seated position offers the Integrative Manual Therapist a fantastic opportunity to address a multiude of our client’s symptoms and some of the underlying patterns that are causing these symptoms in the spine, rib cage and neck. And the best part is we don’t need a specialized massage chair to do this—an adjustable stool or chair will work perfectly. From the seated position we can address spinal movement, breathing, neck and shoulder posturing as well as work w/ our clients patterns while balancing in gravity—something that we can’t do on a treatment table. We will start with orienting our clients to the seated position and progress to doing focused, specific work to ease, free and balance the muscles and fascial lines of the erector spinae group, transversospinalis group, QL, scalenes, upper trapezius from the seated position. We will also palpate and observe and work with breathing patterns.

This workshop is part of a series of “Deep Dive” Workshops held by Alex in his studio space in Mt Tabor. As such, space is limited to 8 students.
