Video Course: Orthopaedic Assessment as Palpating Living Anatomy
David Zulak
Learning to assess all the joints of the body, including the spine and pelvis, is simply learning living anatomy. Truly comprehensive assessment skills enable massage therapists to put the knowledge base they learned at school into practice. Through enhanced assessment skills therapists will learn how to apply anatomy and pathology knowledge into understanding how the body functions and how it becomes dysfunctional. To do this, the therapist has to see the state of individual joints and tissues, while also seeing how all of these work together as a whole.
