Surface Anatomy and Palpatory Techniques

Prerequisite: Students must hold a Body Massage qualification

This one-day workshop is designed as an advanced workshop open to all qualified Massage Therapists.

Recognising and understanding the significance of surface anatomy is the first step in reading the map of the human body. These skills are difficult to learn from written descriptions and illustrations alone.

This workshop is ideally suited to anyone who is recently qualified in Massage Therapy and is of particular benefit to those considering further training in Advanced, Sports Related or Remedial Techniques.

During this interactive day, you will learn to examine the skeletal structure, soft tissues, skin and surface markings, both visually and by touch.

The workshop will cover the following:

- Surface anatomy of the knee, ankle, spine, arm and
   shoulder
- Palpation of acute and chronic conditions
- Surface and deep palpation
- Skin texture, temperature, degrees of change
- Acute, sub-acute and chronic stages of injuries

TBA 2008. If you are interested in taking this workshop please contact us to discuss possible dates. If there are not sufficient numbers of students to run the course, private tuition may be available. In this case the course may not need to run for the full length of time.
