The Tech Neck Method
The digital age has spawned a muscle tension epidemic for neck, shoulder and jaw pain. 35 million seek solution their for clenching, grinding and jaw pain issues; anxious for relief. I developed a massage system over 18 years of bodywork practice was born which targets the root causes of Tech Neck holistically by applying Release & Re-Align techniques – with astounding results. Ideal candidates for this work include those struggling with chronic TMJ pain, forward-bent screen-postures, headaches, and piriformis syndrome; symptoms related to modern day posture problems
I trained from 2006-2008 with the venerable Bob Harris, LMT and he taught me the foundation of the bodywork I wish to pass on to other healers. Graduate of The Massage School of Santa Monica, IPSB, HOH Institute; Los Angeles, CA.
I offer The Tech Neck Method in Los Angeles, NYC, & San Francisco.
Additionally, I teach The Tech Neck method to bodyworkers and healers, aiming to provide access and wisdom to this profoundly healing work, around the world.
The Tech Neck Method Workshop
In my 18 years as a practicing bodyworker, it’s become crystal clear that jaw tension is ground zero of Tech Neck and must be addressed to unwind postural tension in the shoulders, back & neck. Deep jaw release is fast becoming a sought-after modality with the rise of ‘computer posture’ and Tech Neck. Those skilled in offering deep jaw release find an ever-increasing client demand, with too few therapists skilled at providing it! It’s my aim to reach and teach this method to those who will responsibly carry on this life-changing technique.
In this 2-day workshop therapists experience the jaw release themselves: • Palpate to evaluate acuteness of TMJ disorder • locate and manipulate release-points, intra-orally accessing the jaw.
• Connecting corresponding points from occiput – to traps – to pec-points.
• Each person will work on a TMJ model from start to finish,
• Zumi will demo the Method on each participant.
• Paired-practice opportunity.
• Students leave with a solid foundation of hands-on experience in intra-oral TMJ release.
The Tech Neck Method was formed over a decade inside the treatment rooms of 5-star hotels – The Peninsula Beverly Hills & The Hotel Bel Air – for those that sought a therapeutically effective massage. In my own practice since 2013, my Release & Re-Align work is invaluable to a number of high profile clientele - actors, musicians, producers. Virtually everyone needs this release work, yet this modality is offered by few others. Now is the time to master the Method and level-up your practice!
