Many times, ethics classes focus on the boundaries of the client\u2014but we need to think about our own boundaries as well! We\u2019ll view short videos depicting common dilemmas that massage therapists are faced with concerning their own boundaries, and attendees will take turns giving different reactions\u2014sounding judgmental, personalizing issues, or handling things in a calm and professional manner. It\u2019s great practice for when pesky situations arise, and great fun as well.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb046ed e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bb046ed\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a280dff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a280dff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><div data-editor-content=\"{&quot;blocks&quot;:[{&quot;key&quot;:&quot;8sj70&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;One Year to a Successful Massage Practice with Laura Allen Clayton 8 CEU's&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;unstyled&quot;,&quot;depth&quot;:0,&quot;inlineStyleRanges&quot;:[],&quot;entityRanges&quot;:[],&quot;data&quot;:{}}],&quot;entityMap&quot;:{}}\">Intake Protocols and SOAP Charting for Medical Massage 3 CE Contact Hours<span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-size: 1.25rem;font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight );white-space: pre-wrap;text-align: var(--text-align);display: inline !important;float: none\"><\/span><\/div><\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa4cdbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa4cdbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-editor-content=\"{&quot;blocks&quot;:[{&quot;key&quot;:&quot;d2ci9&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Our deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscles and connective tissue.

Learn basic concepts of research literacy and applying that to benefit your practice. Many people are intimidated by the word &#8220;research.&#8221; For some, it conjures up memories of how they hated writing research papers in school, maybe missing a deadline or getting a bad grade. This course explains things in plain English and will assist any massage therapist in having a better grasp of the principles behind scientific research. Research in the field of massage can only add to professional credibility and enhance our standing among other healthcare professionals.
