Track 2: CORESTONES: Erasing Tech Neck
Join us for an immersive retreat designed to help massage professionals grow their practices, strengthen their leadership skills, and reconnect with the work they love.
Part of the full retreat experience, the Erasing Tech Neck track is available as a day‑only option for professionals who prefer to attend without lodging.
This 8-hour continuing education course is designed to completely transform how you approach cervical care. By fusing advanced structural anatomy with the extraordinary thermal properties of soapstone tools, you’ll learn how to address stubborn myofascial restrictions while reducing strain on your own body.
The course begins with an intensive 2-hour interactive lecture and live demonstration. You’ll master the biomechanics of Forward Head Posture (FHP), learn to safely operate a dry-heat warming system while keeping your tools in the optimal 80°C–100°C range, and practice ergonomic grips that make CoreStones a seamless extension of your hands.
The remainder of the course is entirely hands-on, with two dedicated 3-hour practical labs. Working with a partner under direct instructor supervision, you’ll practice a comprehensive clinical cervical protocol, including safely decompressing the anterior vault, addressing the SCM and scalenes, releasing the suboccipital triangle to help alleviate chronic tension headaches, and integrating posterior upper-thoracic flushing with dual-temperature contrast therapy.
All course supplies and CoreStones tools are provided.
