Deep Tissue Body Mechanics (2.0 CEUs)
How to use your body safely and effectively to create deep work
I find body mechanics to be one of the topics that most practitioners take for granted whether they have just entered the field or have been in it for years. I think this is often due to a lack of proper education on their importance and execution. The result of this lack of focus on body mechanics is usually the cause of a career-ending injury to the practitioner. Just a reminder that injury is one of the most common reasons that Massage Therapists leave our field of work. It's important to understand that improper body mechanics makes our work so much harder than it needs to be and that's exactly why I created this course.
In the Morales Method®, we approach body mechanics a little differently than most. To start with, we believe body mechanics is affected by much more than what is happening in the room alone. To even begin to attempt to master body mechanics those influences must be acknowledged and understood. In this course, we will break down these psychological, physiological, and cultural factors and how we can overcome them to create our best work. Then we will move into discussing and demonstrating strategies to exploit gravity and our own bodyweight to safely and effectively work deeply with ease. At the end of this course, you will know how to sit back, relax, and let gravity do its thing as you work!
