PTR 523 - Soft Tissue Techniques
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.
