Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., affecting more than half of adults. Understanding various cardiovascular conditions is of great importance to massage professionals. A healthy recovery from heart trauma and cardiovascular surgery can include a great massage from a therapist that is well trained, understands the special considerations that are necessary to keep their clients safe and how to create an integrated therapeutic session specific to the client’s special needs.
Mary will teach the skills to understand your client’s pre or post operative condition, as well as understanding how to treat clients who have not necessarily had surgeries but are followed closely by their cardiologist for conditions that need special considerations. We will explore modifications and nuances needed in your practice to offer your clients with cardiac conditions a safe, therapeutic massage for physical and emotional healing. A review of cardiac anatomy and physiology including coronary artery blockages, bypass surgery, valve replacement, angioplasty, cardiac catheterization, and cardiac stents, pace makers, heart attack (myocardial infarction), angina, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and hypertension will be reviewed.
In addition, this comprehensive class will review indications, contra-indications, modifications needed and integration of various therapies in the massage session.
