Somatic Bodywork

Your week kicks off with an Anatomy and Physiology lecture, where Professor Davies animates complex muscle origins and insertions on detailed 3D models. You take meticulous notes, trying to visualize each fiber. Later, in your Therapeutic Massage Techniques lab, you practice effleurage and petrissage strokes on a classmate. Your TA gently corrects your wrist angle, emphasizing proper body mechanics to prevent strain, a crucial first-year lesson. After class, you grab coffee with a new friend, comparing notes on memorizing the anterior leg muscles.
