SUMMARY:Training Your Touch: Palpation and Manual Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nTake this opportunity to build a real foundation for success in massage therapy. This two-day class blends lecture\, discussion and guided exercises with plenty of hands-on practice in order to develop and refine your sense of touch. On the first day\, working with inanimate objects\, living tissues and subtle pulses\, we will experiment with strategies from world-renowned doctors and educators to enhance our palpatory skills. Then\, we will use those new skills to evaluate the cardiac pulse and respiratory movements for signs of dysfunction or pathology. On the second day\, our palpation of skin\, fascia and muscles will flow seamlessly into treatment with results that will boost your confidence as a therapist. The goal is not to add knowledge but to transform your practice. Whether you are new to the field\, an experienced therapist or a massage instructor\, you will find growth\, insight and inspiration in this weekend adventure. \nHighlights:\n\nDiscuss the anatomy and physiology of touch\nPractice differentiating various textures and tissues through touch\nLearn specific skills for assessing skin\nLearn specific skills for assessing muscles\nPractice evaluating the cardiac pulse\nPractice evaluating respiratory movements\nLearn to use proprioception for evaluating subtle motion\nLearn about the importance of verbal description in palpation\n\nBring:\nSomething to write with. Massage clothes so that you can expose arms\, legs and back. Dress in layers (as always) since temperature may be difficult to control. \nContinuing Education: 16 CE hours\n\nNationally Certified Bodyworkers (NCBTMB) and LMT’s in all the states that accept NCBTMB approval\nFlorida and Georgia Massage Therapists (CE Broker Tracking #: 20-610842)\n\nRegistration:\nEarly registration & discounted fee available until September 22!\nPLEASE REGISTER THROUGH THE PITTSBURGH SCHOOL OF MASSAGE THERAPY 800.860.1114
