Last weekend I received 20 hours of training in orthopedic massage for lower body conditions with James Waslaski.
I am now looking for folks with lower body complaints who are comfortable letting me practice my newfound skills on them. Here are some details so you can make an informed decision:
- This will be unlike any bodywork you've received from me in the past. It is very "active participant" and focused/clinical.
- You will be clothed for the session: underpants, loose stretchy shorts, t-shirt.
- No matter where your complaint, I will begin with your pelvis and hips and move down your legs to your feet.
- Some of the work on the hip flexors will be done by accessing them through your abdomen. Some folks find abdominal work to be sensitive; many of us hold a lot of emotion in our guts. Rest assured that contact will be slow, patient, and at your pace.
- All work is meant to be pain-free, and even fairly discomfort-free. It is quite slow, to allow the tissues to release at their own pace.
- Expect to spend about 90 minutes on a session, perhaps more. There is a 12-step protocol for me to follow, and until I get it down, I will have to double-check my notes, my body mechanics, etc.
- In order to participate, you must must MUST commit to self-care following.
- The cost will be $50 for a session.
- Sessions will take place either on a Wednesday evening in Brookline or a Friday in Arlington.
