6 CE hours
Lecture: This class will define injury and pathology by using the stages of healing, the inflammation process, and the pain-spasm-pain cycle as a guideline. Tendinitis, bursitis, sprains, strains and many other tissue dysfunctions will be explored and discussed from a massage therapy perspective. Basic treatment strategies such as RICE, Trigger Point Therapy, and using SOAP notes will also be discussed and fascia and massage strokes will be explored from a physiological perspective.
Hands-On: This class will have little, if any hands-on work. If there is any hands-on work it will be very basic tissue palpation to teach students the different levels of fascia so they understand the priinciples of Depth and Pressure.
