All done with Anatomy?

So unless you've got some resits, you are finished with your formal anatomy study.

My advice to you would be "don't forget about your anatomy".

Your level of anatomical knowledge is strongly related to understanding the use of assessment techniques and interpretation of assessment findings. Your ability to palpate and work with specific anatomical structures is crucial in the more advanced soft-tissue techniques which we will introduce next year.

You should be all thinking anatomy when you're working with clients, and if you're not sure what structures you're working with during the massage get out your anatomy notes/texts after the massage and clarify what they are. This will help to keep your anatomy fresh in your mind.
