PATH-0202 - Pathologies of the Muscular & Fascial Systems

Muscle, Tendon, and Fascia Disorders for Massage Therapists

Muscles and fascia are the central canvas of massage therapy—holding our focus, our care, and often, our clients’ pain. Yet when these tissues become dysfunctional, inflamed, or structurally compromised, massage must shift from a general treatment to a clinical, condition-informed approach. This 4-hour course introduces massage therapists to key pathologies of the muscular and fascial systems, including overuse injuries, inflammatory conditions, muscular disorders, and connective tissue dysfunction. With a focus on red flags, massage contraindications, and treatment modifications, this course empowers therapists to support healing, avoid harm, and communicate with clarity and confidence.
