Week 4 - Subjective Assessment & basic postural analysis

This week in Intermediate massage, you'll be learning about subjective assessment for massage therapy, and basic postural analysis. This will complete your theoretical learning relevant to assessment at this level.

Weekly tasks

  • Practice, practice, practice - The main focus of the week is to practice the techniques that Ash has showed you in class over the weekend.
  • Read through this Subjective assessment protocol for massage therapy.
    I strongly recommend you print it off (theres a link on the left hand side if you scroll down to a "printable version"), and keep it at hand for reference during your client interview phase of your massage sessions.
  • Read through this learning module on postural analysis. Make sure you understand the essence of the section on postural & phasic muscles & the muscles involved in upper-crossed and lower-crossed syndromes.
