Introducing Massage Approaches to Improve

Balance, Flexibility, Strength & Movement (Lower Body)

(4 CE hours)

Course Description:

Learn how to address your client’s flexibility, strength and balance with Massage.

Achieving optimal movement requires a balance of strength, flexibility, and rigidity. Many factors affect our client’s pliability and mobility: aging, lack of or poor movement patterns and injury.

This course will explore techniques that enhance the interplay between muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints to improve overall movement quality. 

By integrating client movements into treatments, this course will equip you to help clients become more pliable, fostering stronger and healthier daily activities as well as enhanced athletic performance.

Learning Outcomes: 

Students will be able to help clients address their movement limitations using the clients movements to optimize ROM.

This course will teach you:

• 1. Define and differentiate between stretching, pliability, and mobility.

• 2. Learn to identify and analyze client movement patterns to identify restrictions caused by muscle tension and other soft tissue tightness.

• 3. Apply active and passive movement techniques during massage treatments to improve client mobility and flexibility. We will use a case study to evaluate and measure students' comprehension.

• 4. Develop personalized at-home care plans for clients to enhance the benefits of massage treatments, including mobility exercises and soft tissue self care  methods.
