Soft Tissue Self-release Techniques Workshop

Soft Tissue Self-release Techniques workshop series has been developed by Sutherland-Chan Centre to expand the knowledge and understanding of soft tissue self-massage techniques for personal trainers, Pilates/Yoga instructors and fitness and health professionals. The workshop will develop basic applications as to how to effectively use this hands-on approach for common troubled areas. Throughout the workshops, specific direct and indirect techniques will be demonstrated addressing both the upper and lower quadrants of the body. The workshops will involve both lecture and practical hands-on application, and will be hosted by Optimum Performance Studio.

Soft Tissue Self-Release Techniques Part I: Lower Body

During the workshop trainers will review the lower body anatomy (bones, muscles, and soft tissue); experience hands-on techniques for structures during personal training; learn how to teach clients to use these techniques on troubled areas; contraindications for self massage/soft tissue techniques; and to enhance and develop a safe personal training environment for both trainer and clients alike. The workshop will focus from the pelvis down looking at gluteus, piriformis, hip flexors, quadriceps, hamstrings and lower limb muscles.
