I felt that this course material to be a bit advanced and may be a bit out of the scope of massage therapy, although it was right up my alley! Personally, it is my belief that physiology and psychology go hand in hand and that our bodies reflect our feelings, thoughts, verbal expressions and actions. I loved the content and wish more people would read and grasp the information presented.
