Direct-Indirect Technique For The Legs, Knees And Feet- Using Direct-Indirect Technique In Your Practice- Home Study

Course overview

Direct-Indirect Technique for the Legs, Knees, and Feet is a powerful therapeutic modality that facilitates the release of painful muscular and fascial restrictions that develop over time due to injuries, poor posture, repetitive movement patterns, and stress. In this class, you will learn real tools for the legs, knees and feet that you can use right away in your practice, maximizing the effectiveness of your massage technique while minimizing stress on your body. We will focus on the Leg and Foot muscles, including the Quadriceps, Hamstrings, the TFL and IT Band, Gastrocnemius/Soleus, Anterior & Posterior Tibialis, as well as other muscles, tendons, and fascial structures. You will also learn how to relieve knee pain, plantar fascitis, and more. You will view a specific combination of myofascial, neuromuscular, deep tissue, and hybrid techniques for relieving tight leg, knee and foot muscles and fascia - a blend of deep and gentle techniques that are very effective when used together. We will explore the muscle and fascial anatomy of the legs, knees and feet, as well as common compensation patterns and trigger point referral patterns, and demonstrate how these can be relieved using these techniques. We will look at which leg, knee and feet conditions can benefit from the use of these techniques and which conditions are contraindicated. 'This was my third set of CEUs with John and his are easily the best CEUs I've taken. When I leave his CEUs I am able to immediately incorporate what I've learned into client body work. His presentation and professional presence help make his classes fun as well as instructive.' (Sidney)
