Pathology for Massage Therapists, a 3 credit course

Pathology for Massage Therapists concentrates on the recognition, assessment and treatment of common musculoskeletal pathologies; it covers assessment and identification of dysfunctions, creation of specific treatment plans, and the ways that massage therapy affects both the diseases themselves and their consequences. This course is a requirement in the CCBC Massage Therapy program, which leads to an Associates Degree in Applied Science.

However, the course may also be taken by experienced Licensed Massage Therapists and Registered Massage Practitioners who want to be better prepared to work with clients who have a variety of health conditions. If you have been practicing for years, you may not have had much training in Pathology, or you may just want a refresher course. You may enroll for credit, or audit this course, with the Program Director's permission.
