Theory of normal growth and development will be introduced and specific massage adaptations will be examined as applied to selected life cycle stages. Lymphatic drainage and friction technique as additional modalities of treatment will be introduced. Treatments for selected conditions will be explored. The concurrent laboratory classes complement the theory component. |
