The DEEPACADEMY- A Revolutionary Approach to Massage School

Welcome to DEEPACADEMY Week 1! This week kicks off our Anatomy and Physiology segment. Over the next 3 weeks, we will take a deep dive into the Human Body and how it functions. This week we will be taking a look at the body as a whole, as well as exploring the nervous system.

Here is the material, presentations, and projects that we will cover during Week 1.

This week we will be continuing with our Anatomy and Physiology segment. We will be learning about some of the most important body systems for massage therapists: The skeletal system and the muscular system. This is an introduction to the structure and function of these systems, preparing us to go more in depth in our Kinesiology segment.

Here is the material, presentations, and projects that we will cover during Week 2.

This week we will conclude our Anatomy and Physiology segment, learning the remaining body systems. After this week, you should have an understanding of the parts of the human body and how they work together. In the following weeks, we will begin learning about pathologies that affect these systems, and what impact that has on massage therapy.

Here's the material, presentations, and projects we will cover in Week 3.

This week begins our Pathology section. We will learn about the basics of pathology, as well as the different kinds of medications that might affect massage therapy. We will also cover skin conditions that you may encounter while working in the massage industry.

This week is the second part of our Pathology section. We will be learning about pathologies that most affect massage therapists. This includes the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, and lymphatic system. After completing this section, you should understand common pathologies and what adjustments and considerations need to be taken as massage therapists.

This week is the start of our Kinesiology section. We will focus on the science-based principles in order to understand how and why movement occurs and the factors that can limit or enhance people’s ability to move, biomechanics and origin and insertion points. After completing this section, you should understand common muscles, their actions, origin and insertion points, tendons, ligaments and common injuries associated with these soft tissue groups.

This week leads us into the business side of Massage Therapy. Upon finishing this course you should know various massage therapy rules and laws, forming healthy boundaries and client-therapist relationships. Study business ethics, bookkeeping, budgeting, marketing, advertising and interview skills. We also learn how to startup your own business and run it successfully.

This week we will be creating our own business plans. Learning about hospitality, and self care.

This week we will be going over body mechanics and preparing for the hands-on portion of the DeepAcademy schooling.
