Ep 462 - Understanding Tissue Relationships: Your Practice in 3D with Nicole Trombley and Rachelle Clauson

As massage therapists, we spend a lot of time mastering anatomy—learning specialized vocabulary and the locations of muscles, bones, and nerves in the body. We can take our anatomy understanding even deeper by looking not just at where our client's anatomy lives but also how their anatomy relates to each other: tissue relationships. In this third and final episode of the three-part series "Your Practice in 3D," we discuss the concept of tissue relationships and how dissection lab trainings can improve a therapist's ability to understand the anatomy they touch.
