Therapists are typically taught palpation technique in school — and as time in the profession grows, that technique is rarely revisited. Manual therapists spend time learning new modalities and refreshing their anatomy, yet often forget to practice pressure, speed, and grip.

Can also stand alone or be taught as part of the Creating Empathetic Touch series.
