Women & Massage

Description

Earn credits through articles you've already read in our Massage Professionals Update e-newsletter.

Through the years a woman's body goes through many changes. By broadening your understanding of these different phases, the massage therapist can assist their female clients through some of these interesting, but sometimes stressful times.

In the Women & Massage - Menstruation Through Menopause program we've combined four articles written especially for the Institute's Massage Professionals Update. These four articles include:

• Helping Your Clients Understand and Manage Premenstrual Syndrome - Educate yourself so you can educate your clients on peacefully managing the last week or two of one's menstrual cycle.
• How You Can Help Treat Menstrual Pain - Learn what modalities to use in helping those clients debilitated by menstrual cramps.
• 12 Reasons to Administer Prenatal Massage - From aiding circulation to balancing hormones, learn why prenatal massage is of great benefit to clients who are expecting.
• How Massage Eases Menopausal Symptoms - Discover how the appropriate application of certain bodywork methods can therapeutically ease the challenges of this monumental life change.

You can either read the articles by clicking on any of the titles above or upon enrollment you'll be able to access these articles and your online test through your online course account.

Most women do not understand what is happening to their bodies either during Menstruation Menopause or Pregnancy. This course gave me information that I can share with my clients in order to help them understand what is happening to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COURSE

I was surprised how much information I wasn't aware of in this program. I figured that since I am a woman I would know a lot of this. I ended up reading it twice because I found the information so interesting.

- E. diSpirito, NCTMB

Another good course for the massage therapist. I like that it covered the three cycles of a woman and that it addressed additional therapies like acupuncture, aromatherapy and TCM for the treatments of Women's Health.
