Soulstice Seminar Series presents:
The Fundamentals of Peri-Operative Massage Therapy
integrated manual techniques
For the Cosmetic Surgery Client
As massage therapy is increasingly recognized in the medical community, a new rehabilitation application has been created for this ancient venerable art. Although the concepts of peri-operative massage therapy are beneficial for all clients who are experiencing any physical trauma, this massage therapy specialty course will specifically focus within the cosmetic and reconstructive surgery industry.
Clients are encouraged by their physicians to massage their surgical sites to increase circulation, increase range of motion and mobility, and reduce swelling and bruising. But that’s when the client questions and fear begin to unfold, and a manual technician is needed. How much is too much and not enough massage? Can I massage myself to heavy or too lightly? How often should I be applying my massage?
The Fundamentals of Peri-Operative Massage Therapy will teach integrated palpation techniques to address the needs of the burgeoning cosmetic surgery industry. A participating massage therapist will obtain the skills necessary to understand varying cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures and related techniques, monitor for surgical complications, educate and support clients throughout their recovery process and interface with post-surgical Soulstice clients and develop the skills needed to interface with the medical/surgical community.
This advanced course provides the foundation for a new practice specialty.
