Do you love receiving deep tissue massage? Are you looking for an effective, natural, low cost way to manage your own aches and pains? In this workshop, you will learn targeted self massage techniques to address pain and movement restrictions. Using a variety of pliable but dense rubber balls and other tools, you will be able to give yourself a therapeutic deep tissue massage for immediate relief of chronic soft tissue issues, such as stiffness, trigger points, and muscle tension, while also providing stress relief and relaxation. By the end of each workshop, each of which targets a different pain pattern, you will be empowered to manage your own pain, improve your mobility, recover from your physical activities, or address repetitive overuse issues. By learning self-massage, you will gain a new understanding of your body from the inside out. You will love this new addition to your self care toolbox.
