Medical Massage 2: Torso


6 CE Hours

Medical Massage 2 (MM-2 is part two of a series) continues where Medical Massage 1 left off. MM-2 focuses on the medical treatment of the torso. Medical Massage 1 is the introductory course that includes both the basics of medical massage plus specific treatment techniques for the head, neck and upper extremities. This series does not need to be done in any order.  In this course there is a brief review of what medical massage and how it should be applied.  Emphasis of the course is on providing therapeutic techniques to common torso issues.  Breast massage on a model will be demonstrated and indications/contraindications for this work will be discussed.  Common conditions of the torso will be addressed.  Less than 20% of this course is lecture.  A full 80% of the course provides hand-on experience.

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