Deep Tissue Techniques for the Shoulder Complex (2.0 CEUs)

Working the shoulder complex, in detail, safely and effectively

   Watch Promo

The shoulder complex is one of the most sophisticated and complicated joints of the body. Its design allows for the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body via the coordinated activity of numerous muscles working together in set patterns. Understanding how to work this highly mobile and intricate territory with specificity can be a powerful skill to have in your practice.

Because there are so many muscles in the shoulder complex, it's important that your approach to this territory is specific and targeted to the needs of each client. Tailoring your work during each session requires skilled palpation and a proper understanding of body mechanics. Essentially, you must be able to understand the directional tension of the tissue at hand and how to create the proper force in a sustainable way for your own body. In this course, we teach you how to do just that!

NOTE: This course is approved by NCBMTB and the FL State Massage Board (20-915396) for 2.0 CEs. Once the course has been completed, your certificate of completion will be automatically emailed to the email address associated with your teachable account.
