Blood Clots, Blood Pressure, and Heart Disease: Common Cardiovascular Conditions and Massage » Angina, Heart Attack, and Massage Therapy

Instructor: Tracy Walton

Over 13 million people in the US have angina, a heart attack history, or both. It is no wonder that these conditions are commonly encountered in massage practice, across many settings. Build your knowledge base and feel comfortable and confident working with these clients.
In this course you will learn:

• "The 4 Activity Questions," and how the client's answers figure directly into your session
• How to adjust massage pressure, areas of massage, and even the intention of the massage to work safely
• Which spa services are contraindicated in certain cases of heart disease
• "The Medication Principle" and how it can help you navigate the many drugs prescribed for angina and heart attack

You'll leave the course with essential tools that are easy to use, and can be applied immediately to your practice.
