Some clients may not be able to lie on their back or stomach, so it is important to be able to massage them in a position in which they are comfortable. Many clients are more comfortable lying on their side. They enjoy the stretches and feeling of elongation that they experience with this work. Your client's body is not a pancake to be flipped over in the middle of a massage, but rather is a three dimensional structure, to be worked with from different perspectives.

Sidelying work can integrate well into a relaxation massage. You can start with a client lying prone, then on one side, then on the other side, and then finish with them supine. Clients that I have done this with have enjoyed it and have asked for the sidelying work in future sessions.

Some areas such as the shoulders, low back and hips can be accessed best when the client is lying on their side. Learn effective techniques for these areas as well as a flowing full body massage that can be done in the sidelying position.  Proper draping and use of bolsters will be shown.


Workshop participants will get a prototype DVD and workbook to help with learning and to remember and review the techniques afterward.

Come join us for a very fun experiential anatomy class. We will learn all the major muscles of the body using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modes of learning. We will make muscles out of clay and place them in layers on a skeleton model. As we learn the muscles we will palpate the muscles on ourselves and each other. You will learn ways to stretch each muscle, including PNF and facilitated stretches. This way of learning helps you to embody the anatomy as you get much more of a hands-on sense of the muscles, where they are, and their actions.

In this workshop we will compare and contrast various modalities used in sports massage, including PNF Stretching, Reciprocal Inhibition, Cross Fiber, Strain Counterstrain, Trigger Point Therapy, and the Soft Tissue Release technique as taught by Stuart Taws. We will look at the principles and rationales for each technique, noting the differences and how some techniques use opposing principles. We will discuss the indications and cautions for each technique and show how knowledge of the principles of the techniques, combined with a good knowledge of anatomy, will allow us to apply the techniques on any muscle in the body.
