The Franklin-Method® - “Relax your Neck – Liberate your Shoulders”

Do you have chronic neck and/or shoulder pain? Are your neck and shoulders tight from sitting at a computer all day? Are you stressed from driving on the freeway? 

Join us at this workshop and experience the power of imagery, touch and movement exercises to lengthen and balance shoulder and neck musculature. Learn how to melt away tension and associated mental anxiety. 

Release holding patterns in the upper body by activating the pelvic floor foundation and becoming aware of organic causes of tightness and muscular rigidity. Learn the experiential anatomy of the shoulder girdle and benefit from an increased awareness into the function and interaction of joints and muscles. Exercise with small rolling balls to experience smooth joint action, increased circulation and balanced posture. This serves as a wholesome foundation for a liberated shoulder girdle and a relaxed, mobile neck.
