The Self-Help Guide for the Massage Therapist

As massage therapists our clients look to us for guidance in maintaining their health. We suggest certain stretches and exercises that would correlate to helping with their pain management. We suggest an essential oil that may help. We recommend drinking water and teaching breathing exercises that will help in stressful situations. We refer them to their physician in many cases to get answers or a diagnosis to best know how to treat the body. My question to you is, do you listen to your own advice?

Course Description: This course is designed to help us identify becoming proactive with maintaining our own bodies to allow us to perform at optimum levels and ward off repetitive injuries that are common for massage therapists.  Our main tool for our profession is our body so we will discuss proper body mechanics, body awareness, stretches, exercises and other techniques to help you remain in the massage therapy profession.
