Dear colleagues,
            Ever feel you spend ages releasing the upper traps, only to have them tighten right up again? That's because other muscles that aren't released yet are still holding the neck and shoulders in a position that stresses the traps.
            Release pecs, lats, and scalenes first, and nine times out of ten, you'll be surprised how tame the traps become. I like to use MFR and pin and stretch on these muscles. My courses on the neck and shoulders show you how.
            See below for upcoming classes, including new 2017 dates.  These classes are held at 
TIBIA, 6225 University Avenue, Madison, WI. Click here to register or for logistical details.
           I also can offer classes to groups on a traveling basis or at my office on Yellowstone. Contact info and bio are at the end of this email.
