Releasing The Neck with Andy Fagg – 25th March 2012
Clients often present with stiff and painful necks. This is not surprising, given the heady stresses of everyday life and the range of muscle attachments to the cervical spine and occiput.
Releasing the neck is both wonderful in its own right and can integrate relaxation for the rest of the body. We will examine the structural importance of the neck as well as its role in maintaining emotional holding patterns.
This workshop offers a range of bodywork and energy techniques for the neck, drawn from many disciplines. These include stroking and rocking, vibration and mobilisation, deep focussed pressure, stretching, holding and breathing. For qualified bodyworkers
Date: 25th March Time: 10am to 5.30pm Cost:£65 or £60 by 24th February with postdated cheque for first day course
