Learning how to properly and thoroughly assess the issues of your clients is one of the most important skills you can develop as a massage therapist. The goals of this workshop is to provide massage therapists more advanced interviewing skills and visual assessment of the body from the perspective of the following:

  • History taking
  • Observation
  • Palpation
  • Special orthopedic testing or H.O.P.S.

Much of the class will be taken from various Whitney Lowe publications as well as Ben Benjamin and Ken Dichtenwald.

You will develop a keen understanding of the importance of H.O.P.S. in developing a treatment plan for your clients with the lecture and hands-on practice provided in this workshop.
