Class description/objectives covered in discussion: 

Self-care is important for all  professions, but especially massage therapists. AMTA's self-care survey  showed that about one-third of therapists have sustained an injury as a  result of performing massage, and upwards of 90% of therapists say that  they are in pain at any given time.

Get an overview of self-care best practices and how you can  incorporate them into your massages to help keep you healthy now and for  years to come.

When you finish this course, you will be able to:

• Design proper warm-up and cool down strategies incorporating passive, general, and focused therapies.
• Incorporate a general fitness and strength building regimen as part of a self-care plan.
• Employ an early detection strategy to prevent injury.
