Description
Workshop Description:
Muscle Fiber Methodology is a unique combination of methods incorporating Muscle Fiber Manipulation, Passive Stretching and Client-Specific Exercises that allows clients to reach optimal performance. Muscle Fiber Methodology will also help to prevent common injuries sustained by massage therapists.
Doing massage is very hard on the therapist hands, upper and lower extremities. Massage therapist who does mostly very light techniques like craniosacral and energy balancing work might be exceptions. Most massage practitioners will experience some kind of injury or pain syndrome at some point in their careers as a result of the profession. Preventing these injuries is a priority, and Muscle Fiber Methodology was also designed with that in mind. Over 70% of the methods are done with the therapist sitting on a rolling stool.
