MT 242 - Positional Release and Massage

Lecture - Lab - Credit Hours: .5-1-1
This course is designed to teach students the principles underlying non-invasive myofascial release techniques to the shoulder, neck and lumbosacral areas. Through instructor demonstrations and supervised hands-on practice, specific skills of following myofascial stress patterns, projecting focus to adjoining areas of the body, positioning the body to reduce straining, and establishing energetic contact are explored and developed. The combination of these skills with various massage therapy approaches allows effective interaction with clients demonstrating low tolerance to pressure or discomfort.Prerequisite: MT 102  and MT 104 .
