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.
