I found your course a timely review of issues of importance to me as a massage therapist.T. Smith, LMT, NCTMB
Very nice course. Taking this course did enlighten me in a few new ways, thereby being a very worthwhile learning experience. The wording was a bit tricky on 1 or 2 of the questions. However, it really made me reread & think my answer through. I enjoyed this online course & I will continue to take online education with The Institute for Intgrative Healthcare Studies!S.

Sample Text
"True assessment involves both art and science. The science part involves applying your rational, structured knowledge about each client's anatomy, physiology and pathology to the work at hand. It requires you to know how each therapeutic action or technique you use effects the client so that you can safely and effectively address his/her goals for the session. The art part involves applying your intuitive, artistic and creative abilities to synthesize the rational knowledge into a graceful, nurturing and effective experience for your client and yourself. Each school and indeed each teacher has his or her own style of assessment based on personal philosophies, previous training and experience. However, the core components of an assessment are:
- client goal
- health history
- observation
- palpation
Assessment uses these components over and over again." (Professional Conduct by Sharon O'Malley and Lee Picciuto, 2010, p. 17)
