Anatomy Fascial Lines

Course overview

As a massage therapist, have you ever considered how various muscles that might seem unrelated actually do impact on each other? This course is a wonderful refresher on the fascial anatomy and major muscles of the body, yet it goes much deeper than that. You will learn how major muscles work together in myofascial meridians, such as superficial back muscles like the gastrocnemius impact on the erector spinae, or lateral muscles like the TFL at the thigh impact the SCM at the neck. Without this understanding, a problem in one area that is impacting a seemingly unrelated area will go unnoticed and unaddressed. You will also learn how muscles compensate for shortness or lengthening of companion muscles. More importantly, you will learn a five-step method to assess structural and movement patterns to guide you in developing a strategy to provide appropriate manual therapy. If you want your knowledge of anatomy and interrelated muscle group to increase dramatically, and with it your ability to address the true causes of your massage clients' muscle restrictions, this is the course for you.
