Essentials of Using the Forearm
Val Guin
The Forearm is a fabulous tool when used correctly and an uncomfortable tool when used incorrectly!
Let your body work for you – not against you.. Working too hard causes imbalance and causes the tissue to push back and contract. In this presentation you will learn about table height, body mechanics and movement. Val will demonstrate exercises for strength, endurance and increased awareness during every massage. Bonus: you’ll be able to apply these concepts to ANY tool in your practice. Gain more control, stamina and energy - use your Forearm!
