The Ultimate Face Scalp Neck and Shoulder Massage

Course overview

Beauty is more than skin-deep. In this CE course, Meade Steadman, LMT, goes deeper into the muscles to relieve tension, improve posture, and restore natural beauty from the inside out. Seeking that "softening effect", Meade demonstrates massage techniques, basic and advanced, on the head and shoulders, following the body's musculature, skeletal structure, and the vascular system. Throughout the course, Meade refers to anatomy charts to discuss the underlying foundation of massage work. In addition to the shoulder muscle massage, neck muscle massage and face and scalp massage demonstrations, he also shares some self-massage exercises for clients to maintain the benefits of their massage therapy session, until the next one. Presenter Meade Steadman is a licensed massage therapist and instructor for the Myotherapy College of Utah and taught at the Myotherapy Institute of Massage until its closure. In the classroom, he has taught Swedish, Sports, Acutherapy, Tai Chi, Hydrotherapy, Reflexology, Infant Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Contraindications, Chair Massage, Geriatric Massage, Specialized Spa Techniques, and Therapeutic Principles. He is also the featured expert in many award-winning instructional videos on various massage modalities. Since 1996, he has owned and managed Tranquil Touch LLC in Salt Lake City, UT.
