Are you ready to enhance your skills in treating respiratory conditions through targeted mobilization, medical massage, and holistic therapy techniques? Join us for this comprehensive workshop designed to address a range of respiratory issues, including COPD, asthma, restricted breathing in chronic smokers and va**rs, and the lingering effects of long COVID.
This hands-on workshop focuses on unlocking the potential of the thoracic and rib cage regions to improve respiratory function and overall lung capacity. Participants will learn specific mobilization techniques, medical massage protocols, and therapeutic interventions aimed at relieving tension and restoring freedom of movement in the rib cage, diaphragm, and thoracic spine.
Additionally, we will explore the use of castor oil packs, herbal-infused oils, and essential oils to support respiratory health and relaxation. These natural therapies are known to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and ease breathing, making them valuable tools in respiratory rehabilitation and wellness routines.
Through expert guidance and practice, attendees will gain the tools to effectively address breathing restrictions, improve air flow, and support patients in regaining optimal respiratory health. Whether you're a massage therapist, physical therapist, or healthcare provider, this workshop provides practical skills for working with a wide range of respiratory and musculoskeletal conditions.
