About this course

This is a 2-hour overview of the types of injuries common among amateur and professional athletes, how massage can help facilitate healing and recovery following an injury, and the appropriate massage techniques to use during each phase of the athlete’s training and competitive cycle and stage of recovery. This course is among the subjects covered for mandatory live classroom hours; however, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Florida Board of Massage Therapy is allowing Florida licensed massage therapists to obtain all of their continuing education hours online for the current renewal period.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
