description: Kinesiology is the
science of human movement, focusing on how the body moves by the actions of
muscular contraction, working against the stable platform of bone, acting
across joints. In this introductory Kinesiology class, we will study the
structure and movement of joints as well as the shape of individual muscles
and where and how they attach to the bones. Incorporating the knowledge of
the type of joint plus the location of the muscle on the bones, illustrates
what movement is possible. Objectives
include: -Helping students
memorize the basics of the science of Kinesiology - joints, bones, and planes
of motion. -Providing detailed
information about the anatomy of the main musculature of motion. -Providing a
foundational understanding of the principles of human movement. Upon completion,
students should be able to listen to a client’s story of muscular pain/lack
of range of motion, and compose a mental checklist of what muscles are most
likely involved in their problem. An understanding of
Kinesiology is fundamental to clinical applications for sports, deep tissue,
advanced neuromuscular classes, and injury rehabilitation massage. Proficiencies
include: -Knowledge of the
anatomy of the skeletal and muscular systems -Introduction to the
terminology used to describe body part locations, reference positions, and
anatomical directions. -Experience in feeling
the movements and individual muscles in both their own bodies and those of
their classmates. The class will consist
of 55 hours of lectures, audiovisual presentations, group discussion,
experiential processes, movement exercises, and palpation on self and with
partners. The outcome of this
class will be a practitioner who is keenly aware of specifics of muscle and
their attachments as well as joints and their proper functioning. This
increases a massage therapist's ability to better assess a client and their
needs. Required
