RE: Some Functional Anatomy for Sports Massage
[sm=cat.gif]Hi Moonmaiden
Well Done on passing the course I took the exams 6 years ago & they weren't easy then!
It a real shame about your Achilles Tendon just when you were ready to get going too.[sm=cry.gif] It must be frustrating for you & the worst bit istherapists cannot fix themselves even though they know how. But the saying goes 'Every Therapist Needs a Therapist!'
I'm sure you'll make a GR8[sm=dance.gif] Therapist & be even more empathic when a client say's they're in pain with their Achilles Tendon.
Sending Lots of Healing thoughts for a very speedy recovery. When you're back on your feet 'Go Get 'Em Girl'.
Take Lots of Care & Plenty of 'Rice & Mice' !! If you know what I mean.[sm=grouphug.gif]
Best Wishes for your future

RE: Some Functional Anatomy for Sports Massage
hi aldebaran,
how do you find the sports massage. I started it the end of september and I find it very difficult. the a&p for it, our tutor seems to be all over the place with it, the massage is very hard too, but anyway I will stick with it for another while and see how it goes

RE: Some Functional Anatomy for Sports Massage
Hi bouncy,
I must say this information will be invaluable to me. I started the sports massage course in September and I still dont understand what exactly we need to know for a&p of it. the tutor is all over the place, reading stuff and then saying you dont really need to know all that, I am finding it very hard but because I have my money paid I am looking for all the information and help I can get, it seems I will be doing this on my own and trying to make sense of it. The massage is hard too but because its practical and having the done most of the muscles last year (although, we did nothing on origin or insertion, whic I also have to know) at least it helps.
Wish me luck

Good luck in your sports massage course. It can be tough I speak from experience , but keep fighting you will get there. It's sad to hear your tutor is all over the place, this is not much help to you and I'm sure Very frustrating. I bought so many A&P books whilst doing my massage courses there's not many I haven't got, I found it useful to have pictures all over the house even in the loo!! I coloured the muscles in different colours then highlighted the Origin & Insertion in Bright Highlighting Colours you''ll need to know exactly which muscle does what & how? Which I'm sure you already know this so I don't want to state the obvious, however it seems I just have!!
I found it helpful also to ensure I was receiving a massage as well as giving one each week to one of my class mates. It can be really tough on the hands as you know I'm sure being deeper massage but receiving a massage made it a little easier to handle. If you get stuck with anything feel free to e-mail me.
Keep going you have the capabilities to get there even if your tutor is not giving much guidance.
Take Lots of Care
