Bodywork for Locomotion by Rebel Massage

What You'll Learn

Students will dive into the anatomy of the foot, lower leg, knee, upper leg, and hip. Through understanding these components and how they interact, students will gain a deeper understanding of how they can fall into dysfunction. With hands-on approaches, this class teaches how to critically think about clients and apply techniques that cater to each session.

Course Overview

Bodywork for Locomotion CEU by Rebel Massage

Movement is one of the most basic foundations of our health, wellness and, well, let's face it, our happiness. In this exploration into how we move and what moves us, you will be introduced to the kinetic chain and how it moves through the foot, ankle, knee and hip.

We will look at the bigger anatomy, how we stand, walk and move, and then explore the more intrinsic structures for more detailed work.

With live anatomy drawings, you will get a closer, practical look at the muscles and connecting structures that live here.

You will be a part of hands-on engaged discussions about the health of these tissues and, of course, the dysfunctions that can arise here.

With techniques and approaches for the foot and ankle, lower leg and knee, and upper leg and hip, you will gracefully walk away from this course with confidence and competence in your skills as a body worker.

Instructor

Allison Denney - Rebel Massage

Allison Denney is a certified massage therapist and certified YouTuber. After over 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, she has learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa. She sees soft tissue as not just a physical element, but more as a deeply complex, neurologically driven part of who we are. She uses this knowledge to work WITH clients — not ON clients — to create change that works. This is the basis of her approach. She is also passionate about creating products that are kind, simple, and productive for therapists to use in their practices. Her products, along with access to her blog and CE opportunities, can be found at rebelmassage.com.
