What it's about
Osteothai for the Neck and Shoulders is a workshop with Oliver Chamorro on the neck, a highly mobile and sensitive connection between the head and the rest of the body that often carries the effects of stress, posture and habits. Drawing on Thai massage and osteopathic principles, it teaches how to assess and treat the neck, shoulders and upper back gently, looking beyond symptoms to possible causes.
Topics include the anatomy and movement of the neck and shoulder area, common causes of tension, acute and chronic neck discomfort, restrictions in the cervical spine and upper back, muscular adhesions and joint mobility, and the relationship between the neck, shoulders and breathing, including work with the lungs. Theory, anatomy and demonstrations alternate with guided hands-on practice.
The workshop is designed for practitioners who already have bodywork experience, such as Thai massage and shiatsu practitioners, physiotherapists and osteopaths. It is listed for 11 and 12 May 2027 in Cleveland, Ohio. The organiser's pages give no venue, daily times or price for this date.
