This course will provide the students with a basic
foundation for hands-on soft tissue techniques.
The student will gain an understanding of the
muscular and myofascial system, and how soft
tissue treatment can improve a person's ability
to heal, ability to move, and the person's general
health and well being. The course will be grounded
in the fundamentals of classic massage techniques,
but the student will also be exposed to a whole
series of soft tissue evaluation and treatment
techniques. The course will be taught in
coordination with Gross Anatomy, and the students
will learn palpatory skills of the structures that
are being studied in Gross Anatomy.
