Overview
This 2-day hybrid course offers a multi-modal, clinical approach to massage with advanced therapeutic massage techniques. Holistic massage aims to provide progressive treatment while focusing on the overall experiences of the body including environmental, physical, emotional and mental influences. All of which, aide massage therapists in mapping the body’s experiences as they learn to utilize clinical methodology such as functional assessment and cognitive behavioral assessment. Students will apply this holistic assessment in class during the construction of body maps which will reveal muscular patterns that are compensating for imbalances or enabling them; and that are exacerbating and/or perpetuating pain symptoms. This is a great course that will strengthen your massage practice by shifting your focus to provide progressive treatment, and adding holistic assessment and body maps to your repertoire.
