PHARMACOLOGY FOR MASSAGE

Course overview

Massage therapists routinely have their clients complete a medical/health intake assessment prior to administering therapeutic treatment. Valuable information about a client's medical history as well as a list of current medications can be gained from this process. Questions often arise for the therapist as to how to give accurate consideration for the medications that are being taken and how to make corresponding massage technique adjustments. This continuing education course was developed to broach the topic of pharmacology for massage therapy for massage professionals. Participants will learn about the pharmacology of medications and how to translate that into implications for the application of massage.
