Advanced Release Techniques
This class is for those practitioners who want to further hone their
skills for clients who have day to day accumulations of tension patterns,
and for the more challenging clients who have layers of pain and dysfunction
that don’t resolve with other massage techniques. Remember those
clients you can only get ‘so far’ with?
Somatic release techniques operate in a sequence that the nervous system
can relate to. They address the shock and guarding first, identify causes,
acknowledge proximal and distal relationships, and then release the
target area directly. After release, the techniques reset muscle and
joint function, and then integrate the changes into the whole body.
NOTHING happens in isolation.
We begin with the center of gravity because it has a profound influence
on the rest of the body, and so many problems begin there. Specific
releases will be taught for the psoas, lumbar vertebrae, gluts, piriformis,
Q.L., adductors, hamstrings, knees, ankles, and feet, among others.
The advanced techniques differ in the way touch is applied: in where,
when, how and why touch is used. This approach also differs in your
intention: you will mainly be communicating with the central nervous
system and asking it to create the change in the tissue. After exploring
so many approaches for almost 30 years, I have found this system to
be of immense value to clients, and trust that you will also.

Suresha Hill, Ed.S., H.S.E., C.M.T. followed her three degrees from Kent State University with studies including Breath Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Shiatsu, Breema, Polarity, Deep Tissue Massage, the Bowen Method, Applied Kinesiology and Hanna Somatic Education. She continued in the field of neuromuscular reeducation with classes from Upledger, Paul St. John, Judith Aston, and Anat Baniel. Developing her own style called NeuroSomatic Integration™, she discovered the importance of ‘differentiation’, the ability for all parts to move freely within their relationship to the whole. She’s has a passion for sharing the significance of independent movement and the dynamic interaction between the core and the extremities, for which she developed a course to help bodyworkers to mobilize joints and soft tissue. Suresha has worked in spas, wellness centers, physical therapy clinics and chiropractic offices, and found rehabilitating injuries to be particularly rewarding. She began practicing bodywork in 1978, led workshops abroad in martial arts and psycho-physical integration in the 1980's, and has been teaching bodywork for over ten years. |
