Side-lying is a fantastic way to address clients! You have great access to the legs, hips, back, and shoulders while they are comfortably supported and bolstered. Side-lying is also useful for clients who can not lay prone or supine (such as during pregnancy or due to shoulder restrictions).
While the content for this training comes from Traditional Thai massage, Thai massage experience is helpful but not necessary. The techniques shown can be used by ANY massage therapist. You can work with the client draped or clothed, on a massage table or floor mat.
You’ll be shown methods for addressing the legs, hips, back, shoulders, and arms. We’ll use Thai massage compression and range of motion, and swedish massage petrissage and effleurage.
Come get comfortable with side-lying and learn new techniques your clients will love!
Note: if you take this class virtually, to earn CEs you need to be on-camera and present the entire class time. There will be live discussion, Q&A, and instructor feedback, so we need to see and hear you!
Things to bring:
bring whichever you want to work on, a cushioned floor mat or massage table (if you don’t have a table come anyway, we have a few extra)
if working draped on the table, bring massage lubricant and wear clothing that is easy to change out of
if working clothed, wear loose comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement
linens
2-3 pillows
