MAST 205 - Asian Bodywork Modalities

Credits 3
This course offers a theoretical and hands-on introduction to various Asian bodywork modalities including acupressure, Massage Cupping, Shiatsu, Thai Massage, Jin Shin Do and Acutonics & Ohm Therapeutics (utilizing tuning forks). The focus of this class will be hands-on practice of Asian Bodywork Modalities integrated into a Swedish Massage or treatment massage. For example, Shiatsu and Thai Massage will be introduced with applications modified for use with a massage table rather than a mat. Foundational theories will be introduced with direct connections to assessment and treatment. Acupressure point protocols will include treatment for general support and wellness as well as specific treatment.
