Massage Therapy: Being a Leader in Healthcare

Class hours presented: 1 to 6 hour

Workshop description:
Being a leader in health care takes more than just helping clients. It takes pristine focus on client communication, ethics, and the importance of being a health care advocate. What do you do to get doctors referring? How do you get your clients to start connecting with you when they need a massage? It is time to build your own success. It is time to get rid of the baggage and building something that can be an example to healthcare.

Fully Exposed Ethical Dilemmas

Class hours presented: 3 to 6 hours

Workshop description:
This class has been compared to an “ethical group confessional,” a “stand-up comedy act,” and an “afternoon with Abbott and Costello – but a lot more educational.”  We will include NCBTMB’s Standards of Practice: Standard V in the presentation. From The Blame Game to the ultimate Transference issues, we’ll explore unique perspectives and establish a ‘best practice’ for handling even the toughest of ethical dilemmas in the massage therapy profession through exercises that will be sure to ‘make you go Hmmmm…’ but, most importantly, will help the attendee align personal and business/professional ethics Standards.

Presenters: Nathan Nordstrom & Guest Hosts

Developing a Successful Practice Using Research

Class hours presented: 3 hour to 4 hour

Workshop description:
This course will span the use of massage therapy research in practice, from a basic understanding of what credible research is (identifying and collecting it) to how to engage a client/patient or healthcare professional in making decisions about using your massage services to improve their health outcomes.  Public speaking, Sales, and Critical Thinking Skills will be applied in this process. Massage therapy research will be discussed, demonstrated, and interactive to engage the attendees to make viable presentations featuring massage therapy research. Please bring your electronic device with internet access.
