Massage 101

Are you feeling that 60-hour workweek in your neck and back? In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how massage can relieve stress and ease your pain, and how to help someone else out, too! By practicing different massage techniques, you'll leave knowing how to unknot shoulders and other points of stress without hurting your own hands or body. You can bring your own partner, or make new friends at the class, but expect to have fun!

Elizabeth Goldberg, LMT is a founding massage therapist at Freed Bodyworks. Elizabeth was brought to massage first as a client with a repetitive stress injury. One of the most valuable lessons she gleaned from her own bodywork was how to work on her injury between sessions. Now as a practitioner, she is deeply focused on providing her own clients the tools they need for self-care. Elizabeth has special interest in nervous system conditions, fibromyalgia, migraines, and chronic pain. She graduated from Smith College and Potomac Massage Training Institute and completed training with the Center for Mind-Body Medicine.
