An Integrative Approach to Postural Pain
The aging body is prone to a cascade of postural problems that impact functional movement, including joint pain, reduced proprioception, muscle weakness, and diminished power. Addressing these postural faults is inherently challenging, as subtle compromises in the integrity of the neck/shoulder complex can rapidly affect every structure associated with this region.
Learn to replace movement and posture imbalances with effective alternatives while treating stuck areas that, once released, will awaken the active, dynamic musculature hidden within each of your clients. Explore the relationship between postural muscles and movement dysfunction, and discover evidence–based massage and taping techniques for elongating and reeducating injured muscle tissue in the shoulders, trunk, and neck. By combining these techniques with practical self–care exercises, you will be able to fully address a range of posture–related problems, from debilitating scapular and rib pain to TMJ dysfunction.
