Neuromuscular Therapy—Introduction NMT301 (30 hours, 2.5 units)

This class introduces students to specific assessment and remediation techniques for acute and chronic soft tissue problems. This work naturally enhances the therapeutic value of massage in all its modalities. The goal is to encourage confidence in the students’ abilities to 1) understand and evaluate musculoskeletal dysfunction, and 2) utilize neuromuscular soft tissue techniques to aid in the healing process. Students will learn three one-hour sessions to cover shoulder, neck, and low back treatments.
