Workshop snapshot

Muscles often contain specific areas of tightness, perhaps due to fibrotic changes or to scar tissue. By localizing the stretch to a particular region of muscle, Soft Tissue Release helps to gently but firmly encourage specifically tight fibres to stretch.

Apply STR to all the major muscles of the body, passively, through clothing
Incorporate STR into a massage routine, combining it with oil
Examine which works best for your clients, active or passive STR
Help you devise active STR programmes for your clients
