Course Format/Outline:

Secrets of Deep Tissue™ is presented over a 2-day period consisting of (2) 8-hour class days. The course begins with a lecture which presents the foundational philosophies of Haase Myotherapy® and how those beliefs integrate with the course techniques. Lecture is followed by regional treatments of the body, related common injuries, and dysfunctions as well as associated structures.

Each segment consists of a short lecture, live demonstration, and practice time. The course is designed to teach the technique with a hands-on approach and ensures that every student understands not just how the technique is to be properly performed, but how it should feel to the client as well. Therefore, every student in the class is expected to take part in all aspects of the class including being present for all lectures, demonstrations, and both giving and receiving of technique. Students who do not fully participate will not receive their course completion documentation.

What to bring with you to this class:

Massage table with face cradle

(We will lock the classroom after class Saturday so you can leave your table safely overnight)

If you are flying in to the workshop, please send us a message to advise.

(1) Set of linens/sheets for your use (blanket is optional), and covering for face cradle

Please bring several sets of Nitrile gloves that are widely available in drugstores. (Please do not bring latex or vinyl gloves)

Highly suggested clothing:

Many of the techniques must be performed directly on your skin versus through clothing. Please be prepared to not only have your linens used for proper draping but bring clothing that will help facilitate access for the therapists practicing on you. In addition, please be sure to bring:

Shorts: Bring comfortable shorts such as bicycle shorts, sweat shorts or other flexible, soft shorts.

Sports bra, bikini top or other covering with narrow straps that provide maximum access to the upper neck, shoulders and Trapezius areas. Non-fragrant oil or lotion of choice. "Tube tops" or strapless "halter tops" are often easier to work around as they remove the straps from the neck and shoulder areas.

If you have long hair, a hair tie will be beneficial

HAASE MYOTHERAPY® COURSES TRANSFORMED ME AND MY PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

How did I get here? I saw an ad for a Haase Myotherapy® course on social media -- and out of curiosity, clicked on the link. What drew me in were the techniques for "Carpal Tunnel" and Plantar Fasciitis.

I attended multiple times. That first year, I had thought a years-old injury to the right hand was long gone -- but I felt a strong, painful spasm one week before class started -- and I got worried about stamina. Classmates while learning the forearm and hand treatments in the first hour restored my hand -- and I was able to participate fully through the whole 2 days. So I signed up again. And again.

A favorite treatment is for the Diaphragm -- partly because I have seen and felt how BREATHING affects functional movement, flexibility, and posture. And partly because I saw how well it worked for clients in pain (since pain can lead to shallow breathing). I look forward to teaching you this treatment.

What have been career-changing are the incredible Hip Decompression and Low Back treatments. They made a local M.D. one of my biggest advocates. I'm so thrilled to share this work with you all. And I look forward to meeting you.
