Module ONE

Module ONE also provides the students with a basic understanding of Anatomy and Physiology.

This is to provide the student with a level of understanding of how the body functions and it’s relationship with Massage Therapy.

Students are guided through basic principles i.e. Regions of the body, bones and muscle names as well as the function of these body parts. In class we dive deep and learn about connective tissue, cells, protein synthesis and more.

At the Massage Study Centre we use unique teaching styles to help students feel more confident about this subject and create an atmosphere of fun learning and encourage students to learn to love learning about themselves.
