CLINICAL BAREFOOT: LUMBAR, HIPS & LEGS

$397.00 $510.00

Strong, grounded work—without the wear and tear.

Barefoot techniques for the lower body, with special attention to the lumbar spine, pelvis, and legs. Designed for RMTs who are ready to expand their toolbox, this workshop offers sustainable ways to access deep tissue layers through seated & standing barefoot applications.

Learn how to deliver consistent, confident pressure to some of the body’s most tension-holding regions—glutes, hip rotators, IT band, hamstrings, quads, adductors, and lower back—without sacrificing your own structure. With therapist-preserving mechanics and client-adaptive positioning, you’ll walk away with fresh skills that feel good to give and receive.

Information during this workshop will be presented by way of research informed discussion and case studies with a heavy emphasis on practical skills for sidelying positions as well as transition skills from prone and supine. To attend to the complete repertoire of pregnancy based skills, we will also address bolstered supine as well as tips & tricks for using pregnancy bolster equipment.

Sidelying is a key component to a holistic body saving massage therapy practice so expect to get coached with an ergonomic framework in mind. Learn efficient draping and blocking strategies that support a ‘no fuss’ approach to confident draping for both therapists and patients alike.
