Whether your massage practice is stress reduction or clinical problem solving, this hands-on class will offer you a useful set of skills to enhance respiratory function. Drawing on the work of British osteopath Phillip Latey, this class details the role of primary and accessory muscles of respiration, emotional ramifications, and how to clinically enhance three dimensional breathing. If you encounter clients with fibromyalgia or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders, you may notice thoracic fixations, a depressed sternum and dysfunctional patterns of respiration. With a special emphasis on the three paired serratus muscles, you will learn hands-on skills to unlock patterns of thoracic cage armoring in support of functionally effective respiration. Become inspired!
