Massage therapists help please?

I am studying massage and need tools to help me remember the bones and muscles of the body. Any suggestions or little tricks?Massage therapists help please?
I teach A%26amp;P at a massage school. What I try to do is to provide as many memory aids as possible, and many students like the use of flashcards. Muscles and bones are pure mechanical memory so the more time you spend going over it, the better it will stick. The massage board exams like questions on muscles so it is important you know them before going to take the test. I will give you one memory aid I like. Take the Musculocutaneous nerve. This nerve innervates only the BBC muscles. Easy to remember BBC because of the british broadcasting company. The muscles are, Biceps Brachii, Bracialis, and Coracobrachialis. Or if you want to remember the action of the muscle Brachioradialis, the action is just like bringing a can of budweiser to your mouth hence this is the ';beerdrinking muscle';. Stuff like this will aid in your learning.Massage therapists help please?
This is a fun and easy way we learned in school-use washable markers and draw the muscles on the teacher or teaching assistant! We had a blast doing this, or the flash cards work great too! Don't forget to read out loud, that really helps. Have fun with this, massage is becoming very popular.
Are you a cop?
I am a massage therapist, I would suggest drawing pictures and when you praticing massage visualize it.
Locate the muscles on your own BODY.


It will be with you at the exam!





Good luck!
