Course Summary:
During lecture, practitioners gain knowledge in identifying symptoms, indications, cautions, and contraindications related to all trimesters of pregnancy. We discuss intake, assessment, and treatment planning for all trimesters.
In practice, there will be time dedicated to practicing the subjective and objective intake to rule out high-risk CIs. There will be hands-on practice of proper positioning, draping, and techniques to complete a prenatal wellness/relaxation massage.
This course is highly recommended for all LMTs who are interested in working with the prenatal population, have had no prior experience working within this demographic, and/or would like to refresh their intake, assessment, and practical skills in this area.
*Please note that this course is designed for working with healthy, event-free pregnancies to promote wellness and relaxation. In order to work with high-risk pregnancies and to provide massage treatments specific to prenatal concerns, LMTs will need to take more in depth prenatal classes. MMI is working on providing such training for the future.
