7. Soft Tissue Massage Thoracic Spine & Rib Stretching Techniques
This collection of videos demonstrate a range of soft tissue massage techniques as applied to the muscles of the Thoracic Spine and the Shoulder girdle. These techniques should be viewed and practiced to the point that they can be remembered and added together in a very natural flow without breaking the rhythm of the treatment. Techniques are demonstrated in the supine, side-lying and supine positions. Further rib stretching techniques are demonstrated with the patient in the supine, side lying and sitting positions, viewers must take care to optimally fix the relevant rib and use the patients arm or body, moving it/them in the correct direction to facilitate and differentiate between upper and lower ribs.
