Harness the power of self-healing - Self Care and Self Massage Workshop
We can’t all afford a personal masseuse to ease out the tension, soreness, and tight spots in our muscles. But there is a way to massage oneself, with the benefit of being able to control exactly where and how much pressure to apply.
Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue to eliminate pain and restore motion.
Benefits of Myofascial release include:
During this workshop we will use tennis balls and yoga bricks to apply pressure to trigger points (muscle knots) throughout the whole body to get ourselves back to optimal physical performance. You will leave the workshop feeling like you have just had a full body massage.
You will learn many techniques including but not limited to relieving a headache using tennis balls, how to release a stiff upper back and chest using a block and tennis balls, soothe sore feet and legs, and ease general aches and pains.
When you don't have time or money for a massage, or when your yoga practice doesn't penetrate certain tight knots, after this workshop you can follow the techniques you learn and give yourself the power of these self healing tools.
Suitable for all levels
