  • Describe an alternate means of using the thumbs that causes less strain and promotes better body mechanics.
  • Assess body mechanics and identify specific ways in which thumbs are being overused or misused while massaging.
  • Develop the ability to assess one's body mechanics while working to identify early when problems are developing.
  • Utilize a more beneficial approach to using their thumbs, while massaging the client both in prone and supine.
