Overview
The key to becoming a good manual practitioner is being able to feel through the various tissue layers of the body in a precise manner in order to distinguish between normal and dysfunctional tissues. While most palpation classes focus on WHAT anatomical structures are beneath your hands, this course is designed to teach manual practitioners HOW to feel the various tissues of the body with precision. We will explore the science behind palpation including the sense of touch, the structural tensegrity of the various tissues of the body, the physiology behind a “tissue release”, and how to distinguish between the body’s various tissue layers.
Learning Objectives (upon completion)
- The science behind palpation.
- Perform a precise tissue layer palpation.
- Perform a tissue release in all of the tissue layers of the body.
