What you will learn

This masterclass focuses on advanced deep tissue techniques enhanced by the strategic use of the Stark Ball®.

Students will learn how to apply powerful, precise deep pressure while protecting their own body mechanics through optimized posture, gravity use, and center-driven force. The course demonstrates how compression becomes bidirectional when using the ball, allowing deeper and safer work on muscle groups and joints.

Participants will explore how to access rotators, hip stabilizers, and deep myofascial structures more efficiently, while reducing strain on their hands and shoulders.

They will also learn how to structure deep sessions according to client needs, modulating pressure, rhythm, and positioning to achieve therapeutic depth without triggering defensive tension.
