Should spinal biomechanics be taught in massage school?
January 6, 2010 – 12:55 pmI taught at an All-Canadian Conference in Winnipeg a few years ago and was surprised at the passion workshop participants had for spinal biomechanics. One school owner told me they used Philip Greenman’s “Principles of Manual Medicine” osteopathic textbook in his 3rd year classes and it was one of their most popular courses.
Do you think an understanding of joint mechanics is necessary for massage students?

Hi Erik, I have a question regarding treatment protocol. What resources are there on the subject of treatment duration. I have been working with great results seeing people for 15 minutes a couple times a week. I start with heat and then do myofascial Trp work on a specific problem area. my husband, a chiropractor, checks them following my work. I can see up to 15 people a day with energy left over. I have Clair Davies workbook,which I love, but have not found a good source for backing up what I do. Please Help! Thanks, Tami
