As a massage therapist, you have your fair share of stress to contend with. It is helpful to learn effective coping strategies to keep tension in check as you balance a demanding career and personal life. In your role as a complementary healthcare professional, you should be alert to the signs and symptoms of stress-related and auto-immune illness in the clients you treat. Doing this will help you to offer your clients the best care possible and help them to cope with stress effectively so they can get the most out of life.
This class also addresses the tell-tale signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which now affects more Americans than ever before. And finally, you’ll learn some healthy lifestyle choices that you can implement yourself and share with your clients to help keep your immune system running at its peak potential.
