What the Lower Leg? Anatomy and Treatment through a Structural Lens

Presenter: Spencer Belsvik LMT - MA60979784

Format of Class: In-person, Hands-on

About the Class: In this class we will cover the fascial compartments of the lower leg, the muscles inside, their relationship to the surrounding structures and how to treat them. You will learn a wide variety of structural techniques and assessment tools to facilitate the balancing of these compartments for ease of movement. I'm interested in teaching you manual therapy techniques you can use right away in your massage practice, as an addition to or to comprise an entire session. In this class, we will also discuss the theories behind Structural Integration and how to blend them into your practice.

This class will be almost entirely hands on, with as little lecturing as possible and ample time to practice, so come prepared!

What to Bring: Bring a table, sheets, a yoga bolster, a pillow, shorts and some emollient (shea butter is perfect).
