Immune System and Massage Therapy, 2 CE

NCBTMB Approved Massage Continuing Education

As a massage therapist, it’s important to know and understand the basics of the anatomy and physiology of the immune system. You may be asked to provide massage for clients diagnosed with autoimmune conditions that may affect your treatment or therapy approaches.

This course is designed to provide you with the information you need in order to:

Learn how the immune system and its components function
Understand the benefits of massage therapy for autoimmune disorders
Identify common signs and symptoms of immune system dysfunction
Differentiate between indications and contraindications of massage for specific conditions
Identify the most common autoimmune system disorders
Refresh your ability to define which technique is most beneficial for your client based on condition or need
Understand the pros and cons to steam therapies and wraps for a client dealing with an immune system disorder

In your massage practice, you’ll often be relied on to make informed decisions regarding the safety and benefits of specific massage techniques for your clients that enhance immune system function, relieve pain, and provide physiological as well as psychological benefits. Your knowledge and understanding of massage techniques can enhance the quality of life for clients diagnosed with psoriasis, lupus, lymphedema, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, and other autoimmune disorders or conditions.
