This workshop takes an in-depth look at modern man's use of mobile technology and the health and body dysfunctions that arise from improper posture, repetitive use and structural imbalances. Neck pain from forward head posture, low back and hip pain from extensive commuting, and arm and hand strain from repetitive use with extensive computing at a desk-laptop are all part of the Text-Neck and Commuter-Computer Dysfunction!
Students will be able to complete a one hour therapeutic massage treatment that will explore specific muscular strain that mobile technology users experience. Discussion will include massage therapy techniques to address:
* cross pattern strains,
* repetitive use injuries,
* low back/hip pain from long commutes or extensive sitting,
* headaches and eye strain from monitor viewing or driving,
* proper ergonomics for desk or hand held devices
* pain from forward head posture
* breathing and movement exercises to assist with lymph movement and to increase oxygen with simple restorative exercises.
Students will gain understanding of specific muscular groups that are affected by technology use and how to treat them with therapeutic massage and trigger point therapy. Simple pre and post assessment tools will be shown and students will be able to create a treatment for positive health outcomes for their clients.
