Do your muscles ever feel tight or restricted?

Do you feel like your neck or shoulders have a limited range of motion?

Do you like massages?! 

Then this workshop is for you! Join Rachel to learn how you can use self-release techniques to calm your nervous system, release tension in your body, increase the range of motion of your joints, and move with more ease and freedom! This class is designed for people with spinal cord injuries so most of these techniques will be demonstrated from a seated position. 

In this workshop, Rachel will explain the physiological and neurological benefits of various self-release techniques. She’ll share her favorite types of equipment and explain why less is always more when it comes to pressure! Rachel will then take you through a full head, neck, chest, shoulder, and trunk self-release session. 

Class prep: This class will be a combination of lecture and hands-on self-release techniques. Come prepared with a slightly squishy ball preferably with some grip to it (this one works great). For the last 20 minutes, you can either remain seated or transfer to a bed/floor space as Rachel will be demonstrating some release techniques on the floor on her stomach, side, and back.
