https://www.udemy.com/course/deep-tissue-massage-for-the-back/

Are you tired of doing the same old routine your clients' backs?

The back is a massive territory that can be related to all kind of issues our clients' show up with on our tables. In most basic massage instruction, a routine or a small handful of techniques are taught to address the back. After a while, most bodyworkers realize that these routines and techniques aren't quite enough to sustain their practice and they are left looking where to go next to learn how to help their clients. If this is you, you're in the right place!

The Morales Method® has a unique approach to help you curate your sessions based on your client's needs!

By utilizing a foundational concept in the Morales Method®, Directional Resistance, each session can be unique as you respond to the tensional patterns you find in your clients' tissue with this advanced palpation technique presented in this course. You will see how I use multiple tools with varying body mechanics to create a set of techniques that are effective, efficient, and safe for both the client and the practitioner.

In this course you will learn:

• Techniques to work the Low Back, Mid-Back (including inter-costal muscles), and Upper Back (including how the infraspinatus muscle)

• How to use different tools such as soft fist, elbow, knuckles, fingers etc. to work the back with proper body mechanics including a specific focus on proper wrist positioning and knuckle positioning to eliminate straining and optimize body mechanics

• Discussion (throughout the course) on the best positional strategies around the table and how to create force and depth in your work without increasing (and in fact, likely decreasing) your muscular effort

• How to apply Directional Resistance, a foundational concept in the Morales Method®, to create unique sessions for your clients'

• How to navigate working deeply around the bony territories of the back (the ribs, spinous processes, and scapula)
