Teaching a deep tissue massage class involves balancing technical skill, anatomical knowledge, and hands-on guidance to help students develop confidence in their abilities. This class will introduce the purpose of deep tissue work—releasing chronic tension, affecting deeper muscle layers, and improving mobility—while emphasizing proper body mechanics so students can work effectively without injuring themselves. Demonstrations are essential: the instructor shows how to apply slow, sustained pressure, how to feel for adhesions, and how to communicate with clients about intensity and comfort levels. Throughout the session, students practice on partners under close supervision, receiving real-time feedback to refine their pressure, positioning, and technique. By the end of the class, students not only understand the theory behind deep tissue massage but also gain practical skills they can apply safely and professionally.
