Overview:

Treating the anterior ribcage with competency, confidence and professionalism is something that can be incorporated into treatment plans for clients when indicated. As Massage Therapists, we have the possibility to bring awareness and connection to this sensitive area of the body for many people. It is common for emotional and physical trauma, anxiety and shame to get stored in this area of the body especially, and it is necessary to become aware of and have tools for working with this as health professionals. When we are comfortable in working with the breasts and anterior ribcage, we offer clients the possibility to become connected to this area of their body also. Having the knowledge and awareness of different gender issues, surgeries, pre and post partum changes and scar work will greatly enhance the effectiveness of your treatments in general. This course will approach working in this area within the scope of Therapeutic massage. It is open to people of all genders, however, if you are male identified, you will need to arrange to have a practice partner with a female body, so as to make sure you have the best learning experience and respect the others in the group. I cannot guarantee a willing partner for the practice portion of the class, as participants comfort level varies on an individual level.
