Overview

Upper body tension is rarely as simple as it first appears. A stiff neck, tight shoulder, restricted arm, or aching upper back may be part of a broader pattern that travels through fascia, muscle and other connective tissues.

In this practical 2-part webinar series, Maureen Abson will show you how to track these tension patterns and work with them more effectively. Drawing on her Fusion Massage Technique, she blends fascial release and deep tissue massage into a clear, hands-on approach for treating the upper body as an interconnected system.

This course is designed to help you move beyond simply treating the area that feels tight, and toward a more thoughtful, responsive way of working with the body.
