How to decipher the clues the body is revealing
Expected outcomes for participants include:
Increased ability to locate and palpate specific soft tissue.
Enhancement of skills in recognizing and understanding via
visual - palpation assessment and clients description of concerns,
the tissue adhesions/distortions within the muscle, tendon or
ligament and that involvement in dysfunction and pain of the
Wrist.
Enrichment of skills in appropriate application of massage
technique for correcting soft tissue dysfunction to encourage
restoration of pain free function in joint movement.
Participants will be able to demonstrate advanced corrective
massage techniques on the Wrist using correct contact, depth,
and direction.
These classes include both a regional and a specific in-depth precision
focus on the appropriate anatomy. We begin with each student building
a clay model of the joint and supporting tissue. As each muscle, tendon
and ligament is assembled and attached, techniques to stretch, correct
and manipulate that specific muscle will be presented, practiced,
and reviewed.
The Wrist

As a student progress through the joint series they begin to gather
a greater appreciation for the 'inter-connectedness' of the body...for
example how carpal tunnel symptoms can often be successfully addressed
by including specific elbow massage or that ankle issues can be
traced to distortions around the knee. (see 'The
Nose Ring') Taum's classes present unique insights into the human
