Deep Tissue/MyoFascial Release/ Trigger Points meets 12 times for a total of 48 hours on a MON/WED 5:30-9:00 schedule starting on Feb 3 2025 and ending March 12 2025
Passing requirement: 80% attendance required.

Deep Tissue
Students learn to differentiate between superficial and deep tissue, and how to safely deliver appropriate deep pressure based on a client’s needs. Emphasis will be placed on depth and adjustment of pressure and learning to increase the intelligence of the hands through touch. deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles) Deep Tissue massage is traditionally requested for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders and can improve mobility, postural problems and chronic muscle and pain tension. Often combined with Sports Recovery, Injury Rehabilitation or Medical Massage techniques.
Review and Reinforcement of Anatomy and Physiology of Muscles, Ligaments, Tendons and Bone
Myofascial Release Massage
Myofascial release is a type of physical therapy often used to treat myofascial pain syndrome. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity and tightness in myofascial tissues. These tissues surround and support the muscles throughout the body. The pain usually originates from specific points within myofascial tissues called “trigger points.” Myofascial release focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness in the trigger points. Focus on Anatomy and Physiology and Kinesiology to effectively use myofascial release over a broad area of muscle and tissue rather than at single points. These areas where the massage therapist is working may not be near where the pain originates or where the pain feel most prominently. Myofascial release works the broader network of muscles that might be causing pain by reducing tension throughout the body by releasing trigger points across a broad section of muscular system.
