This course introduces massage students to three very distinct and important massage techniques: myofascial structural bodywork, foot reflexology, and deep tissue massage. The myofascial hand use and technique will be introduced in principle and practice. Students will be presented with structural theory and begin to look at the body while standing and in simple motion. The deep tissue segment of this course is designed to give massage therapists added skills to safely assist clients with special conditions. It introduces the student to deeper pressure than that used in the Swedish Massage course and the foot reflexology component teaches students the ancient systems of applying pressure and massage techniques on reflex points of the feet to alleviate energy blocks that cause pain or tension.

This course seeks to have the student develop a greater depth of experience, understanding, and abilities in myofascial work. It is designed to allow for more experience in seeing structural organization in the human body and understanding of its importance. This course includes an anatomy review, structural observations, demonstrations and practice which assists the students in achieving a greater understanding of the function of each anatomical section and its relationship to the whole structure. In addition, movement activities will be included so that students can sharpen their kinesthetic sense and experience the structure "from the inside." This will give them a better "feel" for structure, which they can take directly to their work with clients. Focus will be placed on the quality of hand contact made by the student as they do this work. The myofascial hand feels into and through the tissue in a kind of dance with the recipient. This course is designed to enhance the students' feel for this. 1 lecture hour, 2 laboratory hours weekly. Lecture ( 15.00) Laboratory ( 30.00) Prerequisites: MAS-209 and MAS-240
