Massage Schools: Anatomy Physiology Training

Anatomy refers to the structure of the body, especially bones and muscles (see Kinesiology).

Physiology refers to the workings of the body's "systems" - such as the Digestive System, the Immune System, etc.

Massage therapists use their in-depth knowledge of the body's anatomy and physiology to develop session strategies for their clients that are both safe and effective.

At the National Holistic Institute instructors use a wide variety of methods to make the study of anatomy and physiology accessible and relevant to the practice of massage therapy. These can include:

• 3 dimensional models of the body
• Group exercises, such as drawing muscles on each other
• Colorful videos
• And the most recent editions of industry-standard textbooks
