LGBTQ, Implicit Bias and Massage, 3 CE

LGBTQ, Implicit Bias and Massage, 3 CE

Most of us see it on a daily basis in some form or another. It appears in our social media feeds. We watch it on television, are aware of it in the workplace, and see it in society. Occasionally, we witness it firsthand in social settings, among our friends and families. Sometimes we become targets of it and realize it leaves a painful, unforgettable memory of the moment. Sometimes we are guilty of it ourselves.

What is this phenomenon? It’s discrimination or implicit bias which is rooted in the belief that all individuals fit neatly into predefined categories.

Thoughts and feelings are “implicit” if we are unaware. We have a bias when, instead of being neutral, we have a preference for (or against) a person or a group of people. We use the term “implicit bias” when we have attitudes toward people or associate stereotypes with them without conscious knowledge. Implicit bias is held universally and is not limited by race, gender or coutry of origin.

In this course we will explore Implicit Bias, Discrimination and how it impacts us, the healthcare field and the massage therapy industry. We’ll take a closer look at the LGBTQ community, history, struggles, strides and triumphs, civil rights and in how it affects the LGBTQ community. 

The objective of this course is to gain an understanding of how to provide a positive massage experience for all individuals, regardless of their race, religion, age, physical appearance, beliefs or personal choices. Our hope is that this course will help to increase the knowledge and confidence of the massage therapist while working with diverse populations.

Cultural Diversity and Professional Ethics, 1 CE

Your clients will likely include diverse cultures, races, and ethnicity and, at times, those who are mentally and/or physically handicapped.

Human Trafficking, 3 CE

An NCBTMB Approved Massage Continuing Education Course

Human Trafficking and Massage Therapy

What does human trafficking have to do with the massage student or professional? More than you might think. When it comes to the topic of human trafficking, many shy away from the topic, not wanting to talk about something so uncomfortable as forced labor or sexual exploitation. The reality is that it happens every minute around the globe. Most likely it is happening in your city, your town, or even in your own neighborhood.

The topic of human trafficking needs to be discussed as part of the training and ongoing education for professional massage therapists because, unfortunately, illicit massage businesses and victims of predators are common within the industry. It’s up to the professionals to help put a stop to it. That means educating ourselves regarding human trafficking or ‘modern slavery’ really is and where it’s found.

The Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) supports the mission of educating and arming our profession with knowledge and empathy for human trafficking victims. However, in order to do this, students and professionals alike need to know what human trafficking is, it’s prevalence around the globe and in the United States, how to recognize it in your own neighborhood, and how the professional massage industry as a whole can disrupt the practice of trafficking men, women, and children.

Challenges abound for the professional massage therapist in serving our clients, promoting health and wellness, and our reputation in light of many myths and misconceptions about the truth behind human trafficking.

At the end of this course, you will be better educated about the overall practice of human trafficking, how it impacts massage therapy practices in the United States, how to recognize the signs of human trafficking and how to go about reporting possible human trafficking situations.

Chronic Pain and Symptom Management, 3 CE

NCBTMB Approved Massage Continuing Education

Chronic pain is not only challenging for the person experiencing it, but for family members, physicians, and massage therapists as well. A number of massage treatments and adjunct therapies are available that can help manage chronic pain conditions caused by traumatic injuries, illness, autoimmune conditions, as well as disease processes but for many, there is no cure. However, throughout this massage therapy continuing education course, it is important for the massage or bodywork professional to understand that pain – especially chronic pain – has different implications for different people. You’ll find that signs, symptoms, pain severity, recovery times, etc. will vary due to a number of seemingly endless factors such as injury onset, age, re-injury, overall general health, initial and long-term care, emotional states…specific client issues can go on and on.

Throughout this course, you will not only learn about different types of pain, massage therapies and techniques to help relieve it, you will also learn how pain not only affects the body, but the psyche – the spirit and the soul of the person dealing with it. For many, chronic pain causes severe emotional and social issues.

The massage therapist is also cautioned against making assumptions about a person’s pain complaints. Pain is subjective. Pain sensations, severity, and perceptions of pain are unique to every individual. What triggers pain in your own body may not hurt someone else or vice versa. Pain cannot be measured, tested, photographed, or otherwise documented on film, x-ray, or the latest in digital technology.

For this reason, the massage professional must always listen carefully to the client when it comes to techniques utilized to help relieve pain, stiffness, and discomfort. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has researched and tested patients dealing with chronic pain. They have discovered that those experiencing chronic pain may have decreased endorphin* levels in their spinal fluid. (Endorphins are chemicals produced by the body to relieve stress and pain)

Dealing with a client or patient experiencing chronic pain that can last months or a lifetime can be – and often is – intimidating for physicians, health care team providers, and massage therapists, regardless of training and experience. Chronic pain is serious, as seen by the number of professional associations that attempt to help those experiencing it. These include but are not limited to:

  • The American Chronic Pain Association
  • Arthritis Foundation
  • Migraine Research Foundation
  • American Headache Society
  • National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research
  • National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases

Over 5,000 clinical trials are currently underway in the United States – and throughout the world, focusing on chronic pain.

If a massage therapist does not have the experience or training to treat injuries, the therapist can often make the situation worse. The information found in this course will assist you in making informed decisions regarding individual client care and approach when treating injuries.
