Medical Massage 1 (MM-1) is the first in a series of three workshops designed to present medical massage concepts and practices for massage therapists who want to expand their basic Swedish massage training into therapy of various soft tissue medical conditions. MM-1 is the introductory course that includes a brief review of the basics of medical massage and how it should be applied plus specific treatment techniques for the head, neck, and upper extremities.  MM- 2 continues where MM-1 left off with therapeutic treatment of the torso.  MM-3 completes the series with therapeutic treatment of the lower extremities.  MM-1 is 20% lecture and the remaining 80% of the course contains hands-on techniques to resolve specific common head, neck, shoulder, arm, and hand issues.

Note: The Medical Massage series does not have to be taken in order.
