my view on posture

If we are going to help someone with posture issues we ourselves must not have posture issues when massaging. making sure that our tables are at the correct height, Are our spines in neutral position, is the flow coming from our body or just our arms?
these are just a few things that can help extend our Careea.
when dealing with a clients posture and they want to get better but we don't know allot about it don't deal with it! posture is such a broad thing if you just go ahead and unlock someones back thinking this will relieve the pain it just might.....for about one or two days.
you have to go deeper thinking about the relationships between muscle's thinking if i release this what effect is it going to have on something else. I have alot more thoughts on this but i think this should do for now.

looking back on the first week

wow straight into it from the word go!
it was great for us to be taking through everything and then get straight into the real hands on stuff. And my way of learning is suiting the way that I'm being taught at this stage so I have no excuses for not understanding, DAM!
I really enjoyed just learning how mellowed out you can make a person feel with just holding strokes it really is a great way to start off a massage and make a client feel comfortable.
well i think thats all for now!
cheers
