Massage Practice - back, neck, head

I organize Massage Practice for people who want to learn basic massage techniques with minimal theory — techniques that are not only relaxing but also relieve tensions at a deeper tissue level. Later you will be able to use the skills to massage family or friends. People working professionally can also gain new knowledge and discover interesting massage techniques.

In the workshop we will focus on massaging the back, neck and head.

There will be instructions, some improvisation and we will follow the needs of the group. We will pair up and experience the pleasure of giving and receiving massage.

We will use, among others:

• classical massage techniques
• deep tissue massage
• myofascial release
• trigger point work
• work with the transverse muscle
• functional techniques and original methods

I introduce work with the breath.

I design these classes specifically for mat-based massage (not everyone has a massage table), meaning ergonomic use of your body weight. You will be able to easily apply the knowledge later when massaging at home.

We will massage partly without and partly with oil.

People who have never massaged before as well as those connected in any way with massage or other bodywork can attend.

About the instructor: Joanna Jutkiewicz – Pilates, stretching and relaxation instructor. I have worked as a massage therapist for 10 years, which taught me to read the human body and understand its needs. I completed studies in pedagogy, philosophy and coaching. I work with my body through Pilates, functional training, dance, singing, stretching, psychomotor activities, 5 Rhythms and meditation. I am interested in psychology, psychosomatics and neurophysiology as well as various inspirations that help to understand and, above all, feel being in the here and now.

In my massage practice I select appropriate methods tailored to the current psycho-physical condition of the person being massaged, including myofascial release, deep tissue massage, trigger point work, functional techniques, cupping, Lomi Lomi Nui or craniosacral therapy. Every person is a unique individual; attentive listening to their needs and creating an atmosphere of trust and safety creates space for releasing excessive tensions or blockages in the nervous system.
