Infection Control Practices for Massage Therapy – 2 Hours

Description

Massage therapy is a safe and non-invasive form of treatment, but it should only be provided under medical supervision. Before beginning the therapy, therapists must consider the patient’s condition and any medications they are taking. As massage therapists, we are held to a very high standard of cleanliness. We are taught to follow “universal precautions” as a crucial part of our education. Proper sanitation procedures, such as hand washing, glove use, and equipment disinfection, are essential for massage therapists to know and follow. This course is developed to help massage therapists expand their knowledge and skills regarding infection control.

After you finish the Infection Control Practices for Massage Therapy course, you will be able to achieve the following learning objectives:

• List the conditions that must met for infection to be transmitted.
• Identify ways to reduce the transmission of diseases.
• Describe prophylactic measures to be taken after accidental exposure to hepatitis B and HIV.
