The abdominal muscles are an often-overlooked region when it comes to massage. The “forgotten middle” area is integral to the whole body massage experience. This class will review massage of the abdominals from a Western (Swedish and Trigger Point) and an Eastern (Shiatsu/Acupressure) perspective, looking at this part of the body through both a structural and an energetic lens. The anatomy of the abdomen can be “seen” from a physical perspective relating to organs, muscled and fascia, and from an energy perspective that discusses meridians and other important points.This class includes hands-on demonstrations of all techniques.
