24 HOURS CPD

Art Riggs is an Advanced Rolfer living in the San Francisco area who has been teaching bodywork since 1987. His classes are a masterful blend of technical information and insightful practical theory that will greatly expand your view of massage therapy.
He is the author of the book, Deep Tissue Massage; A Visual Guide To Techniques and Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release: A Video Guide to Techniqes-A highly acclaimed and popular 11 hour DVD series, as well as frequent articles in U.S. bodywork magazines.

Deep Tissue Massage is much more than just a “hard massage.”    In contrast to just relaxing muscles, the specific lengthening of fascia and muscles and tendons offers many benefits such as freer joint movement, benefit for injuries, better posture, and feelings of well-being.

This seminar will expand the broader theories and skills introduced during the fundamentals weekend.
o     Protocols for a cohesive treatment plan for most conditions encountered in a bodywork practice:
o     Balancing the foot and ankle
o     Treatment plans for the knee and hip
o     Balancing pelvic strain patterns, including working with the psoas and iliacus muscles

This workshop can be taken separate from Fundamentals, but it is highly recommended that you attend fundamentals for continuity and to receive the full benefit of the skills that will be presented.   Students wishing to take only the Lower or Upper Body will be required to present evidence of familiarity with the curriculum presented during the first weekend.
