Video Course: Cornerstones 21: Teaching Palpation Skills – Bringing the Mind into Learners’ Hands
Cindy Williams
It isn’t easy to teach someone how to “see” with their hands, but it is one of the most important skills to learn for all massage therapists. It’s up to instructors to teach palpation skills well, and as more than just a concept in passing. In this course, the 21st in Cornerstones: The ABMP Instructor Development Program, educators learn how to build these-all important palpation skills into an introductory course, and throughout an entire curriculum.
Download the course handout for prerequisite information, the program’s recommended curriculum map, activities, and more.
