Introduction to SRT
3 Continuing Education Hours
This is a 3-hour class to introduce you to the principles of SRT. It is taken directly from the SRT for the Shoulder, Arm and Hand class. Since many massage therapists have symptoms in this area of their body, it is a great class to experience the relief of SRT from the in-class treatment. You will gain a new, effective tool you can use immediately in your practice.
In this hands-on class, you will learn to:
- Understand the activities which lead to symptoms including Taya's view of the true function of the muscles involved.
- Recognize the symptoms that patients present.
- Assess the ROM and structure of each area.
- Palpate the involuntary muscle contracture to locate the SRT Tender Points.
- Discern the possible positions to decrease the pain of the SRT Tender Points.
- Feel the release of the involuntary muscle contraction and the increase in ROM in the area.
- Participate as the therapist and as a patient to enhance your learning experience.
- Release fascia quickly using Taya's gentle tissue techniques.
- Use and integrate a new tool that will gently decrease pain and increase ROM.
- Understand the body from a new perspective and think "outside the box."
