Title: The Ethics of Client Communication: Talking to Clients about Their Health

Hours: 4 CE credits

Description:

This class addresses the delicate art of communicating professionally and with open hearts when we have concerns about our clients’ wellbeing. Key topics include medications that may influence bodywork choices; visual or palpatory signs that are red flags; and maintaining boundaries for client safety (how to say “no” when your client says “yes”). Basic principles of active listening are reviewed and employed as students observe a variety of difficult client-therapist conversations, all based on real-life situations provided by past participants.

Ruth Werner is an author, educator as well as an artist. Her book A Massage Therapist’s Guide to Pathology is now in it’s 7th Edition. Visit her website www.ruthwerner.com for more information.
