Description:
This 3 CE course offers Licensed Massage Therapists a unique, hands-on opportunity to deepen their anatomical understanding through direct interaction with pre-dissected cadaveric specimens. Participants will explore major anatomical structures, including muscles, bones, nerves, and organs, in a controlled and respectful environment. Through guided examination and palpation, attendees will enhance their knowledge of the human body’s spatial relationships and functional anatomy, directly relating this to massage therapy practice.
Students will develop practical skills in handling and examining cadaveric material with gloves and aprons, ensuring safety and respect for the donors. The course will emphasize the clinical correlations between anatomical structures and massage therapy techniques, helping students recognize anatomical variations, multi-layered tissues, and their implications for therapeutic practice. Additionally, students will engage in discussions on the ethical considerations of using cadaveric specimens, fostering a deeper appreciation and respect for the individuals who have donated their bodies for educational purposes.
By the end of this course, participants will have enhanced their anatomical knowledge, improved their palpation skills, and developed a greater awareness of the ethical dimensions of their practice, ultimately contributing to more effective and informed massage therapy treatments.
Materials Required: Bring disposable gloves, wear scrubs and/OR bring disposable aprons. Personal protective equipment (PPE) adherence is mandatory. Masks are optional if you want to bring them. I will have some disposable items if needed, just let me know.
By completing this course, massage therapy students will gain valuable insights and practical skills that will enhance their professional practice and contribute to their continuing education.
Pre-requisite: Honor system. Go to: https://www.gilhedley.com/membership and get the FREE “Easy Rider” membership and watch Integral Anatomy videos (at least the first few videos-the Skin, Superficial Fascia, Deep Fascia, and Muscle layers).
Location: GCU Grand Canyon University, 3300 W Camelback Rd, Bldg 57, 1st Floor Lab. Directions: You will use the main entrance and garage, which is at 3300 W Camelback Rd, Phoenix, 85017 (33rd Avenue and Camelback). Just tell the guard that you are here for the Cadaver Lab, and they will direct you where you should park..
From there, it’s a straight shot to the lab. Once you leave the garage, walk back past the guard booth where you drove in and head straight east to Building 57—you’ll pass between the arena and the grassy quad, and Building 57 (“Technology”) will be immediately in sight, straight ahead. I will meet you outside the north entrance of the first floor (near room 105). There are also signs on the building to direct you.
Disclaimer: Travel time and prerequisite involves extra time not included in CE hours.
