  • Clinical reasoning and client-centered care


What We're Looking For:

  • Strong knowledge of Swedish massage and clinical massage techniques
  • Experience with orthopedic assessment and injury treatment approaches
  • Solid understanding of kinesiology and anatomy
  • Ability to effectively teach muscle attachments, actions, and palpation

Preferred Qualifications:
