  • It is important for massage therapists to study anatomy and physiology because it allows them to understand the structure and function of the human body. By having knowledge of anatomy, they can identify muscles, bones, and other structures, which helps in providing effective massages and avoiding injuries. Understanding physiology enables them to know how different body systems work and how massage therapy can positively impact a client's health. Overall, a solid foundation in anatomy and physiology enhances a therapist's ability to provide safe, effective, and customized treatments to their clients.
