Today I made a visit to Bodies here in Las Vegas. I am an Anatomy Nerd and am fascinated by the human body. I realized how important it is for therapists to keep up with anatomy and kinesiology. Every time I visit Bodies, I learn or remember something I had forgotten.
Anatomy is such a crucial component to doing bodywork. I believe continuing education for massage therapists should include a certain amount of hours just to refresh on Anatomy.
Massage therapists have to not only be able to point out bony landmarks and the certain muscle groups but also have the ability to work that muscle despite the size and shape of the client. Palpation skills are of utmost importance to be confident and perform effective work. Massage therapists greatly benefit from the constant study of anatomy.
Personal Body Maintenance for the Bodyworker® Courses offer Massage Therapy Continuing Education.This seminar not only refresh the therapist on anatomy and kinesiology, it gives experiential anatomy through kinesthetic awareness exercises and yogic techniques.
