THE TISSUE TALK ACADEMY
ON-DEMAND TRAINING FOR THE MASSAGE THERAPIST!

PILLAR 1: NECK & UPPER BACK

The cervical complex has the challenging task of supporting the head, while at the same time, allowing for a wide range of motion. Head-on-neck and neck-on-thorax disorders serve as one of the most common complaints that drive people into our practice.

Discover how side lying positioning gives you easy access to the neck and upper back complex and decreases the strain on your body.

PILLAR 2: SHOULDER COMPLEX

The shoulder can be a very challenging joint to treat because it is designed to have maximum movement potential and relatively little stability. Functional movement of the shoulder requires balance between movement of the scapula and the glenohumeral joint.

Learn how to treat the most common muscular imbalances and restore functional movement in the shoulder complex.

PILLAR 3: LOW BACK & HIP

Chronic lower back pain and dysfunction often results from tight hip flexors and weak hip extensors. Lengthening the hip flexors, is vital to the successful treatment of most pelvic imbalances and lower back pain.

Enhance your ability to treat lower back and hip dysfunctions including high ilium, sacroiliac fixations, QL's, throaco-lumbar junction and piriformis syndrome.

STUDENT SUCCESS STORIES

“I have used the techniques that you teach and they work wonders!

If I were to hire any other RMT's at my clinic, I would insist that they have certificates from your courses.

That would ensure me that they are serious about their work and that they have been taught valuable massage techniques.”
