Orthopedic Massage for the Lower Body

Learn how to address tendon and muscle injuries with skill and confidence. This DVD covers assessment, trigger points and referral patterns, static and friction massage, stretching and client self-care on over 25 muscles. Learn from John’s 30 years of experience as a bodywork instructor as he clearly shows each step in the treatment process with this hands-on approach.

This 2 hour and 41 minute DVD covers back and hip pain, knee pain and ankle injuries. John methodically goes through each structure describing how it relates to common dysfunctions as he shows how to apply trigger point therapy and cross-fiber friction.

In an added bonus section, this DVD also includes how to work on large muscles using your foot with the client on the ground. This option allows the therapist to save their hands while offering an effective treatment.
