Taking the Danger Out of Endangerment Sites

Course overview

An endangerment site doesn't necessarily mean "don't touch," but it does mean "touch with special care and knowledge." Unfortunately, although massage is generally safe, medical and legal records show many cases where clients have been injured, often by well-meaning, but under-educated massage therapists. We can minimize that risk by knowing where certain tissues are most vulnerable to damage, and how to accommodate our touch to be safe in those areas. Join award-winning educator Ruth Werner for a deep dive into this topic as she draws on her client's body to illustrate the boundaries and structures of endangerment sites in eight areas of the body. Your clients will thank you!
