Not just for pregnancy massage.

Each client is unique. Whether it’s because of a specific body type, pregnancy, or a health condition, being face down (“prone”) for a massage isn’t always comfortable. Side lying massage expands your options for those clients. In fact, you can incorporate side lying techniques into all of your sessions!

Clients enjoy the stretching and feeling of elongation from side lying massage and often ask for it again in the future.

Gain a New Perspective

The reason side lying massage is effective for all body types is because it uses a new angle that allows for deeper work. Thinking of the body as a pancake that needs to be “flipped” midway through a session is a mistake. Therapists aren’t just limited to working on the front and back! Bodies are three-dimensional structures that should be worked on from different perspectives. The workshop will show you exactly how to do that, and more.

Expand Your Toolbox

You’ll learn how to:

• Give a flowing side lying massage
• Apply targeted techniques to the shoulders, low back and hips
• Use proper draping and bolsters
• Integrate side lying work into relaxation massage
