Deep Dive: Forearm & Hand - 12 CE hours (Tuition $350)

As massage therapists we know the importance of our forearms and hands; as well as the beating they take each day at home, at work and at play. And we are not the only ones who use these important muscles daily – many of our clients need specific attention here as well.

This course focuses on the muscles and other structures of the forearm and hand from an anatomy perspective, as well approaching both self-care and client treatment through stretching exercises for each muscle or set of muscles. A brief overview of common pathologies is included. We will exchange a forearm and hand massage addressing the specific muscles during the afternoon of day two.

IMPORTANT: We will be stretching with a partner and self-stretching while reviewing muscles of the forearm and hand. We will be clothed and sitting a good deal of the time.

WHAT TO BRING: A pen for taking notes. Dress in comfortable layers – if you wear a long-sleeve shirt please be sure you can easily roll them up to expose your forearms and elbows, and on the afternoon of day two we will disrobe for table work from the waist up. Bring 1 set of sheets including cradle cover and oil or lotion, plus 1 standard size bath towel, plus a blanket if you get cold.

LUNCH: We will take an hour for lunch each day.  A refrigerator is available on site, however NO microwave.  There is a Mediterranean restaurant in the building open M-F, and other nearby places to pick up a quick lunch.
