Instructor: Tracy Walton

About 500,000 people are diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF) every year in the U.S. alone, and nearly 5 million U.S. residents live with the disease. As the population ages, these numbers are likely to increase. Build your knowledge base and feel comfortable and confident working with these clients. In this course you will learn:

• Specific interview questions about CHF complications
• Significant massage adaptations for clients with CHF
• How the "Filter and Pump Principle" guides the massage session
