Muscle Energy Techniques for the Upper Back & Shoulders

Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a manual therapy that uses the gentle muscle stretches and contractions to relax and lengthen muscles, and normalize joint motion.

In this workshop we will take a look at the various structures that make up the shoulders and upper back. You’ll learn different yoga poses that strengthen and stretch to help with shoulder tightness, combat poor posture, and that will help relieve pain in your upper back, neck, and shoulder blades.

We’ll also learn how to stretch deeper and work with neuromuscular pathways to help relax the central nervous system so you can relax tight muscles and go deeper.

No previous yoga experience required!

Make this a 2 part series workshop with Muscle Energy Techniques for the Lower Body (May 2nd).

Workshop Price: $20
