Courses through Ruth Werner:
A Doctor’s Note is Not Good Enough… and what is better $40, 2 CE credits
In this lively 2-hour class we will discuss why the strategy of “getting a doctor’s note” (or clearance, or permission) to work with clients who have complicated health challenges is not useful. Then we will use sample templates to initiate conversations that get us what we really need: relevant information so we can do our work safely.
A Massage Therapist’s Introduction to Pharmacology Pt 2: $20, 1 CE credit
This is a follow-up to A Massage Therapist’s Introduction to Pharmacology, Part 1. In this 1-hour course we will look at the medications that are commonly prescribed to treat pain and inflammation, various types of cardiovascular disease, and diabetes– with special emphasis on what massage therapy accommodations might be called for in these circumstances.
A Massage Therapist’s Introduction to Pharmacology Pt 1: $20, 1 CE credit
It is safe to say that all massage therapists have clients who use medication. Many massage therapists want more information on how those medications work, and how massage might affect their function. This introductory pharmacology class addresses basic principles of drug mechanisms, possible side effects and adverse reactions, and how massage therapy can be adjusted to meet those concerns.
What’s Next? COVID-19 Updates for Massage Therapists Cost: $20, 1 CE credit
