Advance Your Skills: Soft Tissue Techniques for Supporting Clients with Fibromyalgia – One-Day Workshop

Are you looking to better serve clients with fibromyalgia? This one-day workshop is designed for massage therapists who want to gain a deeper understanding of fibromyalgia and learn gentle, effective soft tissue techniques tailored for this condition. You’ll learn both assessment strategies and hands-on methods to support clients dealing with common fibromyalgia challenges, such as widespread muscle tenderness, joint stiffness, and sensitivity to touch.

What You’ll Learn:

In this focused workshop, we’ll start by covering key insights into fibromyalgia, including how it affects soft tissue, the nervous system, and overall tissue health. You’ll learn how to assess and respond to the specific needs of clients with fibromyalgia, utilising advanced soft tissue and myofascial techniques that are modified for low tolerance levels and heightened sensitivity. By the end of the day, you’ll feel confident using these gentle yet effective methods to help clients experience a greater sense of relaxation and relief.

Why This Workshop Is Essential for Therapists:

• Gentle Techniques for Sensitivity: Learn specialised approaches for working within clients’ tolerance levels, allowing you to offer relief without triggering discomfort or sensitivity.
• Focused Knowledge: Understand the common physical and neurological aspects of fibromyalgia, including “tender points” and heightened nervous system responses, enabling you to tailor your approach.
• Empowering Skills: Expand your repertoire with techniques designed to ease tension, reduce perceived pain, and support relaxation in clients living with fibromyalgia.

This small-group workshop provides a safe and supportive space to deepen your knowledge and refine your hands-on skills. Don’t miss the chance to learn these valuable techniques and build your confidence in working with clients who experience fibromyalgia. Secure your spot today!
