This workshop continues the workshop on the neck but can also be taken by itself.
It is specifically for Massage Therapists who wants to improve their work on the shoulder area. Rolfers, Structural Integrators, Trager practitioners (or advanced students) will benefit a lot from this opportunity to learn how these two approaches can be integrated and bring much more effective results! For massage therapists this will also serve as an introduction for this special works though the main work here will be along the lines of the structural Integration work of Dr. Rolf.
Combining the two elements of releasing (or recognizing support) and organizing the structure around the central axis, brings much better results both in achieving the level of freedom desired, and in maintaining this freedom in daily life as result of learning the principles of releasing while in movement.
