In a massage therapist's guide to treating shoulder pain, you will learn how to simply and effectively treat all of the most common shoulder problems that you will see in your massage clinic or spa.
I am going to remove the confusion that so many massage therapists have(just like I had) in assessing and treating shoulder problems. I have simplified the process for you.
You will learn how to treat and protect your OWN shoulders with an exercise that should be essential for ALL massage therapists to do on a daily basis.
Once you know the most common shoulder problems, their causes, treatments and home exercises to give your massage clients you will be able to confidently and successfully treat shoulder problems in your massage clinic.
After you have completed this course, you will be able to successfully treat a wide range of shoulder conditions such as:
rotator cuff tears
tendonitis
bursitis
subacromial impingement syndrome
frozen shoulder
osteoarthritis of the shoulder
and many more
You will also know how to protect your own shoulders so that you, as a massage therapist, can continue to do what you love which is treating people.
I will teach you how to treat shoulders in your massage clinic using techniques such as:
deep tissue massage for the back, shoulders and neck
kinesiology taping for the shoulders
gua sha
clinical cupping therapy for shoulder and back pain
acupressure
how to make pain relieving balms for your massage clients pain
what are the best pain relieving essential oils to use
and so much more.
You will come away from this course and have a thorough understanding on how to treat your massage client's shoulders, what to do for your own shoulders to make them healthier, what home exercises to give your massage clients between treatments and learn a vast array of different massage and treatment techniques.
Included in the course is a 31 page Ebook for you to download
It's time to demystify treating shoulder problems for massage therapists.
