Anatomy Every Professional Massage Student Should Understand

Good technique starts with knowing what is under your hands.

Core systems

  • Muscular system: origins, insertions and fibre direction
  • Skeletal landmarks to avoid pressing on
  • Skin and connective tissue layers
  • Lymphatic system and node locations
  • Circulation and venous return

Why it matters

Anatomy determines stroke direction, safe pressure and the endangerment sites every therapist must avoid.
