Anatomy: Bones & Muscles

At Body Wisdom you won’t be bored out of our skull studying and learning anatomy with a traditional “2-D approach” of books and videos, like most colleges.

Specifically created for Massage Therapists, this course is taught in a highly experiential format with 80% hands-on training that will transfer directly into your massage practice.

This course lays the foundation for your comprehensive understanding of the human body and ts musculoskeletal function, and how to assess its mobility and range of motion. This is crucial in clinically addressing a client’s condition to restore health and wellness, as well as communicating with other healthcare professionals they consult.
