Sports Massage Positional Release Certificate Course (2 CE)

Master Positional Release Techniques for Sports Massage & Therapeutic Massage

In this Positional Release Techniques course, Michael Eric Everson, Manual Osteopath, Registered Massage Therapist, and Yoga Teacher, teaches a practical form of manual therapy that uses precise body positioning to work with areas of muscle tension, tenderness, and discomfort.

Positional Release Therapy (PRT) is a valuable addition to massage therapy and sports massage because it gives practitioners another way to approach sensitive areas before applying more direct hands-on techniques.

You'll learn how to use positioning, palpation, and therapeutic contact to incorporate Positional Release Techniques into your massage therapy treatments.

In This Positional Release Course, You Will Learn:

• Positional Release Techniques for the entire body

• Advanced manual therapy techniques

• How to identify and work with tender points and trigger points

• How to use body positioning to reduce muscular tension

• How to incorporate positional release into sports massage

• How to combine Positional Release with other massage therapy techniques

• Practical techniques for working with sensitive or restricted areas

• How to develop a more versatile manual therapy technique toolbox

What Is Positional Release Therapy?

Positional Release Therapy is a hands-on manual therapy approach that uses specific positioning of the body and tissues to create a more comfortable therapeutic experience.

Rather than immediately applying deep pressure or aggressive manipulation to a sensitive area, positional release allows you to explore a different approach.

You'll learn how to position the client, locate relevant tender or trigger points, apply appropriate contact, and integrate the technique into a broader massage therapy session.

Learn Practical Positional Release Techniques

This course focuses on hands-on application, not just theory.

Michael breaks down the techniques step by step so you can understand how to apply positional release in a practical treatment setting.

You'll learn how to use Positional Release Techniques as part of your existing approach to sports massage, therapeutic massage, and manual therapy.

The techniques can be particularly useful when you encounter areas that are sensitive to direct pressure or when you want another option for addressing muscle tension and tenderness.

Positional Release for Sports Massage

Positional Release Techniques can complement a variety of sports massage and therapeutic massage techniques.

You'll learn how to incorporate positional release into a broader treatment strategy and how it can fit alongside other hands-on approaches.

This makes the course useful for practitioners who work with athletes as well as massage therapists who primarily work with general clients.

Work With Tender Points & Trigger Points

A significant component of this course is learning how to approach tender points and trigger points using positional techniques.

You'll develop practical skills for locating these areas and applying positioning-based techniques rather than relying exclusively on direct pressure.

The goal is to give you another option to add to your massage therapy and manual therapy toolbox.
