Advanced Massage Techniques
for the Neck

80% of all the clients who come to you for massage will have either neck or lower back problems. Stress reduction massage techniques will help, but do not really address these problems adequately.

Tria takes you on a journey around the neck and jaw areas of the body. You will learn specific techniques to help alleviate or completely resolve problems of the neck and jaw. You will enjoy client loyalty in your practice - as clients will know who to turn to when problems arise, and also for ongoing maintenance.

You will learn to work with the muscles of the neck and jaw including:

• Levator Scapula and Trapezius
• SCM (Sternocliedomastoid)
• Scalenes
• Suboccipitals
• Ptergoid and Massater
• OA Release (Occipital-Atlas)

The techniques are easily incorporated into a Swedish massage. Students will see clients restored to a more restful, peaceful body and mind. Clients will experience more blood flow to the head and brain and a better drainage of fluids from the cranium thereby alleviating headaches, sinus symptoms and TMJ.

Course includes:

• Anatomy review of all muscles and bones covered in the techniques
• Proficiency in the application of the techniques with plenty of hands-on instruction
• Comprehensive course manual describing all the techniques for at-home continued practice
