About this Training Session

Palpation is fundamental for a massage therapist. When this vital skill is mastered, it increases a student’s confidence and makes the instructor’s job easier.

In this presentation, educators will learn the importance of palpation in the classroom and beyond, how to present unique ideas for teaching palpatory anatomy to students, address different learning styles through Trail Guide to the Body tools and technology, and use this presentation as a platform for participants to share the exercises or resources that have been successful for them in palpation education.
