About the Class
Over the past 30 years, the definition of the scope of practice for massage therapists has become deeper and more expansive. Massage therapy is practiced by more practitioners, at more locations, with more modalities than ever before.
Whether you are service based in a spa or salon or orthopedically based and more clinical in your approach, work in a franchise or spa as an employee, a subcontractor at a clinic, or are a solo practitioner, this class will help clarify what we can do, and what falls out of our scope of practice.
During this 3-hour ethics class facilitated by Scott Raymond LMT, we will discuss what our scope of practice is, how it applies to our profession, and how a clear scope of practice allows you to serve your clients and your community.
How we as therapists communicate with prospective clients, colleagues, policy makers, and other healthcare professionals is so important for the field of massage therapy. Being able to communicate clearly and confidently what our scope of practice is educates the public, informs policy makers, and puts confidence in other health care professionals to comfortably refer to a massage therapist.
We will discuss how to have a clear definition moving forward, and how to speak with different demographics about the field of massage therapy.
Not only will we discuss the importance of a clear and uniform scope of practice, but we will discuss the importance of individuality within the practice of massage therapy.
Early bird rate of $99 for registration prior to October 4.
