Unwinding the Spine

Many people suffer from back pain and problems. In this class we look at various techniques that may be useful in relieving that pain and many of these techniques you’ve probably not considered before this day. With a demo, then partner work in each segment, we experiment with various body positions to help open, access and unwind the spinal 'stuck' spots. Prone and supine back work are featured, but also deep front of spine work, seated back work and standing work.

Top Ten Hot Spots

There are certain techniques that work often, while others are more specific to particular situations. This class is created on what is considered to be the most effective ten techniques to work with bodies that, time after time, seem to achieve results for nearly all clients.

Beginning with number one, moving through the list, we spend the most time with the top ideas, since they are the favorites of many bodyworkers. You'll come away from the day with a new respect for these techniques and their effectiveness.

If we can only touch one spot on a client, we know where it would nearly always be. If we can touch two, or three hot spots, we know which call to most loudly. Learn Noah Karrasch's Top Ten Hot Spots list and enhance your practice.

Relaxing the Jaw & Neck

Always a popular course! If you've wanted to get better, and braver, at the front of the neck and inside the jaw, this is the class for you!


CORE Fascial Release Bodywork, developed by Noah Karrasch, AR LMT, is designed to free holding patterns and restrictions through the body in partnership with clients—not in an authoritarian style. In the two days, we'll work in lectures, demonstrations and partnerships to learn the concepts of good deep tissue work that's been around for 35 years.
