I need some advice, please!!

[Guest guest]

Hello! My name is Angel and i just started massage therapy school at

Everest college a few weeks ago. I really like the material we go over,

but to be quite honest, i didn't expect it to be quite this complex.

I'm doing good in my classes so far, but am having a hard time

retaining it all. My question is, should i be more concerned on the

techniques, or the terminology?

PLEASE give me any advice you have, i'd really appreciate it!!

My openion is to concentrate on technique,with its terminology, you

will gain all , but needs time, every thing starts hard,day after day

you will be profissional, talk to your colleagues about terminology to

remember every term .It is very easy but you need to try. Good luck.

Hi Angel,

 

In my personal experience, and in my massage practice the terminology is

mostly important for passing the tests, greduating from massage school, and

getting certified. Once the tests are passed and you are certified the

techniques are much more important.

 

I'm a few years out of massage school, and while I've forgotten most of the

names of the insertions and origins of the muscles, my hands understand and

know the details.

 

I guess that I'm trying to say that learning the terminology educates and

illuminates the techniques. I highly recommend finding a study partner.

Studying Anatomy and Physiology gave me an appreciation for the human body

in all it's amazingness that I just didn't have before. I'm grateful for my

intensive massage school education.

 

Good luck in school!

 

Best regards,
