Deep Massage is Lauterstein-Conway’s unique modality which combines structural bodywork with energetic bodywork. This method enhances clinical results and is easier on the therapist. Better clinical results because this work combines myofascial release with releasing stress held in the nervous system. This results in more thorough, longer-lasting change. It is easier on the therapist because, instead of overworking and trying to force hardened tissues to change, you learn to evoke the client’s release of tension from “inside out”.
Deep Massage – the Core is a workshop in which you will learn fantastic new Deep Massage techniques for:
- the psoas
- serratus anterior
- rectus abdomis
- quadratus lumborum
- multifidus
- erector spinae
- external oblique
- diaphragm
- sacroiliac ligaments
- intercostal muscles
- scalenes
- and more
Participants will learn to apply these techniques in prone, supine and side-lying positions. Side-lying work, especially for lower back pain, is easier and often more effective than prone work.
These Deep Massage techniques, “fulcrums,” will help you more thoroughly address back pain, digestive complaints, diminished respiration, mid and upper back pain, scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis, forward-head posture, shoulder and neck pain. This heightened skill level will result in more satisfied clients and more repeat business.
If these problems are coming from stress or other energetic issues, these techniques will also be uniquely effective as they refine your art and the energetic side of your work as well as its structural impact.
