Clinical Education in Massage Therapy

Clinical Education in Massage Therapy is an introduction to the practice of Clinical Massage (or Medical Massage). Clinical Massage is a form of natural therapy that is usually not performed in a spa setting, though many spa's do offer sports massage and lymphatic massage. Normally, clinical massage is done in a clinic and is for rehabilitation from some form of injury. In most cases, a doctor writes a prescription with a treatment plan.

Clinical massage involves addressing the deeper muscles of the body versus a relaxation massage being performed with a very light touch on the surface of the skin. The therapist needs to have an extensive knowledge of clinical anatomy, physiology and kinesiology to address the range of motion limitations by using a variety of therapeutic modalities. Heat may be applied along with cold packs or hydrotherapy to relax the muscles and make them more responsive to the massage therapy treatment.
