Anatomy and Kinesiology for Therapists is not just a lesson in sitting at a desk and memorizing muscle names. This kind of posture puts a strain on this part... Which muscles are being approached by this traditional Thai stretching technique... Why is this pressure in this direction?... etc. , We will give you a lesson to understand the meaning of the actual treatment.
The important thing for a therapist is to “feel and understand”. Knowing only the name of the muscle is meaningless if you can't feel anything while applying pressure. For example, if it is pressure on the thumb, it is important not to simply press it, but to press it while feeling it. In other words, you have to apply pressure with your fingers and arms relaxed. In other words, how do you use your body? (This area will be covered in the body care lesson.)
Counseling ability is the life of a therapist, but there are times when we talk about muscles in conversations with clients. I'm in trouble even if I'm told "○○ muscle is like this...". You will need to know the names and movements of some large muscles. For therapists, knowledge of anatomy and exercise will surely be useful for counseling. There are many things to learn about movement science, such as reading how to walk and daily posture from how the sole wears, and which muscles get tired when the center of gravity is on one foot.
