I spent my entire weekend in a wonderful class learning more about myofascial release. This is the technique that I've been so excited about since I took my first class in November.
The class reviewed a lot of information from the first class, as both dealt with similar areas. It really helped to strengthen my understanding in those areas and I enjoyed getting great feedback on my skills.
The class also went over a lot of areas that I hadn't explored quite as much in my post graduate work. I've focused, as many of you know, on headaches, neck pain, and TMJ dysfunction. 90% of the classes I've taken have been on techniques to help with those complaints.
The class in November was on the neck and shoulder area. Little did I know that I would fall head over heels for the modality! I just can't get enough and am looking forward to each class that Pete will be teaching in 2007 and beyond.
This weekend's class was on breathing. Not as in how to breath, but as in how to assist clients to breath better. We learned how to release the entire rib cage, chest, abdomen, and neck. It was powerful stuff. I can't wait to work on some of my asthmatic clients as well as the athletes who can benefit from breathing more deeply. One client in particular has problems with her ribcage and I'm itching to get in there! So many applications for this new technique!
Coming up in 2007 is a pain management strategies class and a lower back and leg pain class. Next year there will be a burn and scar class and an extremities pain class. I can't wait!
