Deep Tissue Techniques for Legs

including proper body mechanics in prone, supine, and side-lying

If you ever thought...

"I do good work, I know how to work on the legs, but I'm not seeing the results I'm hoping for in my clients."

"I feel my body mechanics could be better"

"How can I do effective deep tissue work without over exerting myself?"

I used to think the exact same way

It's difficult to know what techniques work. It's also difficult to resolve really challenging issues just based on the techniques we learned in basic training

Have you noticed? Doing the same techniques over and over again just isn't resolving those challenging issues.

No matter how good you are, no matter how hard you work, you need to develop these top skills:

You must learn how to employ effective body mechanics

I can't stress this enough. If you're doing rote strokes and not listening to how your body behaves under those strokes, doing it over and over won't work.

Sooner or later every practitioner comes to the same conclusion:

There's gotta be ANOTHER WAY to do it

I know this because after 15 years in private practice, I have had to adapt and figure out different way of working the legs on many different clients.

Every time I work on a client's legs, I have to figure out:
  1. What is going on in their tissue (this requires skillful palpation)
  2. How to work that tissue effectively and with best possible body mechanics

Over the years, I've had the honor of helping thousands of people and they in turn have helped me gained expert skills.

The one thing I've seen over and over that can crush an otherwise strong practice is the lack of skillful palpation

It really gets me when I see a great practitioner fail to be effective when all they needed were some specific palpation skills and body mechanics knowledge. This is exactly why I put together this online course, just for you, to help you succeed!

This course introduces the manual therapist (Massage Therapist, Physical Therapist, Osteopath, Chiropractor, Athletic Trainer) to advanced techniques for the legs in order to help clients get expert manual therapy and allow the practitioner to work SMART, not HARD.

What you'll learn in this course:

  • Techniques to work the feet, lower leg, and upper leg in supine and prone, as well as techniques to work the medial leg and IT band in side-lying
  • Techniques to work the rarely addressed back of the knee!
  • Contraindications for working in the legs
  • How to use different tools like knuckles, fingers, elbows, and more with proper body mechanics
  • How to work the feet with tools other than your thumbs to save your hands
  • Body mechanics to help you work deeply and safely for both you and your client

"I am a continuing education junkie and find myself going back to Marty’s classes again and again due to the fact that I use so much of what I learn there. Marty’s focus on directional resistance and palpation over a set sequence is invaluable to those wanting to move in a more therapeutic direction.”
