Tuesday 31 January 2012: Postural Assessments and Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is an effective & relatively gentle massage technique to rebalance connective tissue restrictions, therefore restoring motion and eliminating pain from myofascial tension. Postural & palpatory assessment is essential for deciding on direction, location and intensity of tissue pressure.

Wednesday 1 February 2012:Muscle Energy Techniques (RI and PIR) and STR
Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) is a massage technique used when antagonist muscles are engaged instead of the agonist muscle/muscle group in need of stretching. This is useful when the agonist muscles have experienced trauma or are otherwise painful when contracting.Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) is useful for areas of chronic soft tissue tension and can be used to safely and effectively restore normal tissue length. Soft Tissue Release (STR) is a versatile and efficient massage technique to release tension in non-acute conditions. STR can be applied through clothes or directly onto skin in a wide variety of clinical and out-door situation.

Thursday 2 February 2012: Sports Massage Open Workshop
Recap and further practice of the techniques learned over the last two days, working with sports-specific
massage case study scenarios - especially winter sports!
