ITEC Holistic Massage Exam Paper
Sat my Holistic Massage Paper yesterday and it wasn't too bad.
All the Complementary Therapy questions are fine - just remember that Alexander is posture and the others are easy. 🙂
Bit of a discussion after with other students about whether a question was regarding upper arm or upper forearm and what movements should be used to relieve tension. It was agreed it should be thumb petrissage which ever part of the arm it was! :confused:
Thumb petrissage was also correct for lumbar region tension - so don't let the same answer put you off as it did me! :rolleyes:
There was also a question on osteopathy which was worded in a typical ITEC confusing manner as I was looking for a musculo-skeletal answer but it wasn't as simple as that! But tried to get it right by a process of elimination - you know it's not spine or pressure points so that really only left one correct answer. 😡
Bell's Palsy was a nervous disorder. 😮
The rest really weren't that bad if you know the answer!
Sorry I can't remember too many more but these were the worst ones. :confused:
Good luck everyone - hope this helps - even if it only gives you one extra answer that you didn't know then it was worth racking my almost empty brain!
Only the practical to go - roll on 4 weeks time.
