Modern Ethical Principles in Massage Therapy

Course overview

This course explores modern ethical issues that are often found in the massage therapy field. Massage is more intimate than other healthcare professions; this makes it a bit easier for professional lines and boundaries to get crossed. By identifying specific behaviors that might indicate an ethical issue, therapists can adapt their own behaviors to best manage situations they may encounter. When therapists are aware of words, actions, and phrases that might indicate a possible issue, they can diffuse situations before they get out of hand. This course will identify and provide some easy behaviors that therapists can use to provide the ultimate therapeutic experiences for their clients.
