SMT1600 TRANSITION TO CLINICAL MASSAGE
Transition to Clinical Massage provides introductory clinical theory and technical skills to work with clients experiencing common conditions found in a non-clinical massage setting. Techniques will focus on slow, focused work with emphasis on developing a basic application protocol. Students will expand their anatomical knowledge and palpation skills in the context of clinical massage. Assessment and rehabilitation of soft tissue structures and related symptomologies of common complaints will be the focus. In addition to laboratory sessions, learners engage in practice massage sessions outside scheduled class hours.
