Infection Control Practices for Massage Therapy – 2 Hours

Description

Massage therapy is safe and noninvasive, but therapists do serve patients under medical supervision. Therapists must consider patients’ conditions and medications before beginning treatment. As massage therapists, we have always been held to a very high standard of cleanliness. Studying and practicing what are called “universal precautions” are an important part of our education. Massage therapists must be familiar with correct sanitary procedures, including hand washing, glove use, and disinfecting equipment. This course was developed to help expand the knowledge and skills of massage therapists with respect to the subject of infection control.

Upon completion of this course (Infection Control Practices for Massage Therapy), you will be able to learn: 

• List the conditions that must be met in order for infection to be transmitted.
• Identify ways to reduce transmission of disease.
