This two-day, 16 CE course presents a systematic, anatomy-and-kinesiology-based approach to
soft tissue treatment for pain and dysfunction. It teaches students to use clinical reasoning based
on assessment and provides a solid foundation for applying rehabilitative massage techniques to
a variety of tissue types and conditions. All demonstration and practice sessions are
accompanied by clear visuals of the relevant anatomy.
The course covers concepts and goals in rehabilitative massage, a detailed review of the
composition, characteristics, and common injuries and conditions affecting soft tissues, as well
as an update on the science of pain and inflammation. Students will learn and practice a full
spectrum of foundational and advanced techniques to address the myofascial system from the
superficial to the deepest layers. These include techniques that utilize shortening or lengthening
of tissues, client movement, and assisted stretching. There will be time to address specific client
cases provided by participants.
This course is the first of three. Upper Body and Lower Body Specialty courses to follow.
