Soft Tissue Release

Soft Tissue Release (STR)

 With Tatina Semprini

 Soft tissue release (STR) is a technique used to apply stretches to specific parts of a muscle rather than to the whole muscle. If there are areas of scar tissue, adhesions or extra tightness within an otherwise healthy muscle, or if dealing with clients who are hyper flexible, STR can be performed to reach those particular fibres or small areas not ordinarily released through more general stretches. STR is a very useful tool that can be utilized independently or incorporated within your massage treatments to make them more effective and the benefits longer lasting.

 Course contents:

 ·        The principle of STR and how to apply it to a muscle effectively and safely

·        When to use STR, and when not to

·        How to use STR over clothes

·        How to use STR within a massage

·        STR to major muscles (legs, arms, back, neck, chest, pelvic area)

·        STR with client in prone, supine, side-lying and sitting positions

 You will start off practising these stretches independently over clothes, then incorporate them within an oiled massage.

This will be a very practical day with plenty of opportunity to try out your new hands-on skills as well as experience the powerful benefits of STR stretches for yourself.

 Please wear comfortable loose clothing, and make sure your nails are VERY SHORT, as we will be working deeply.

 Bring in a small face cloth, a large towel (bath sheet), oil and wet wipes for massaging.

 Suitable for therapists with basic A&P knowledge and massage skills.

This workshop is worth 5 CPD points.
