What will we learn? 

First we'll go through an overview of what happens to clients BEFORE they come to us for help. You'll be able to:

Describe popular plastic and orthopedic surgery operations

Discuss symptoms and experiences of patients after plastic surgery

Then we'll look at what is happening in our client's bodies after surgery and how our massage will affect them. You'll be able to:

Explain contraindications to post-surgery massage

List and describe the stages of wound healing

Then we'll really get into the heart of the course. I answer the critical questions that will take your massage practice to the next level and encourage your clients to rebook. You'll be able to:

List and describe which modalities are most effective at different stages of wound healing

Describe modalities and client self-care actions that can reduce swelling and other side effects of surgery

Design a sample session for a post-op client based on your current knowledge and skills

Lastly, we'll look at ways we can further improve our skills. You'll be able to list and describe continuing education options.
