This class introduces students to the practice of deep tissue principles and how to communicate with clients about deep tissue massage. The class focus is on fascia and the deeper fascial components of muscles. Instructors stress proper body mechanics, confidence, presence, and the quality of touch needed for deep tissue work. This class will introduce neuromuscular techniques that assist students in developing and applying an appropriate therapeutic approach for working with musculoskeletal injuries. Course reviews anatomy and applies physiology concepts to musculoskeletal pathologies and conditions. Students will learn corrective soft-tissue injury intervention, range of motion techniques and neuromuscular reeducation. PowerPoint slides, lecture, group discussions, and class activities are used along with the demonstrations, student trades, and hands on guidance. Students learn neuromuscular routines for each area of the body and practice critical thinking skills. Includes 100 hours of class and 20 hours of practice labs.
