Medical Massage – Chronic Conditions – Ethical Situations – Insurance
DIT – Putting it All Together into a Balanced Bodywork Session
Working on clients with acute or chronic conditions in a clinical setting, such as your office, a hospital, a chiropractic office, or a physical therapy or rehab clinic, requires specialized skills for the massage therapist to be successful. You often work on clients with acute conditions like back pain, headaches, shoulder problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee problems, or plantar fascitis, and clients with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, cancer, or other diagnoses.
In these situations, you may be most productive working only on that particular problem during that session. Or you may want to do detailed work on that area within the scope of a full-body massage. With either of these scenarios, this class gives you the tools and the framework to be successful at such detailed therapeutic bodywork.
This class will also help you to understand everything you need to know about taking insurance, exactly how to do that, when it works well and when it doesn’t. This can save you a lot of time, money, and frustration!
Clients with acute or chronic conditions often require different massage techniques to achieve similar outcomes, such as loosening tight muscles and fascia, lengthening restricted muscle fibers and intertwined fascial tissue, and working as deep or as light as you need to for each client situation.
The goal is to help clients experience long-lasting relief, better range of motion, and a better quality of life, while taking good care of your own body while you work.
We will look at some of the issues involved with working in clinical situations, such as medical billing, medical codes, certifications, interacting with other health practitioners, and more.
After many years of experience and more than 20,000 bodywork sessions, I have successfully taught thousands of therapists to quickly and easily help clients to feel better, so they can continue doing the job or activities they enjoy doing.

Massage for Chronic Conditions
Bodywork for Special-Needs Conditions and Special Populations
This class teaches you how to use a variety of massage techniques in ‘non-typical’ massage situations and with clients that have special needs. Such environments are becoming more and more common as the general population ages and as medical practitioners learn more about the benefits of massage.
We will look at and practice working with a range of physical conditions and populations, such as clients that are bed-bound or wheelchair-bound, children of varying ages, clients with fibromyalgia, clients with cancer, clients with multiple sclerosis or other autoimmune diseases, clients needing end-of-life care, and clients that have an emotional release during a session.
Several Direct-Indirect and hybrid techniques will be demonstrated and practiced by participants to gain a comfort-level working with clients in these massage situations. Many therapists report that working with such clients is immensely fulfilling and rewarding.
“I liked everything! John instills confidence in students and never makes you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing.” ~ Stephanie
Massage and Ethical Situations
Dealing with Ethical Situations Confidently and Decisively
This class provides an open, fun, enlightening forum to understand ethics as it relates to the business of massage therapy.
The purpose of this class is to bring some of the ethical situations that massage therapists may deal with out into the open – to take the ‘mystery’ and the ‘fear’ out of these situations and to openly and freely discuss our experiences with them. Therapists will determine and practice what would be best to do in specific situations, in order to empower each other to deal with ethical situations confidently and decisively.
An emphasis will be placed on identifying specific situations that may confront a massage therapist and how we can best react to such situations. We will practice techniques to help us communicate clearly, concisely, and directly whenever an ethical situation arises.
We will discuss ethical principles, codes, and regulations as to how they affect massage therapists in their practice. Participants will discuss their own opinions about ethical principles, including areas where their personal views may differ from others, and how to resolve that.
