This short online course concentrates on the topic of ethics as it relates to daily bodywork dynamics and interpersonal relationships. In most states, what a health professional tells a client is judged by what other health professionals tell their clients in similar situations. The actions of the health professional are judged against the actions of his/her peers. However, many states are now leaning toward the patient/client's perspective, which means any side effects that are pertinent to a particular client should be told to this client regardless if other health professionals tell their clients of this particular risk. This is to ensure that this particular client is fully informed of risks and benefits so the client can make an informed decision. In our industry, we are challenged daily with decisions that could adversely or positively affect our success and the professionalism of the industry. Ethics and professionalism can be very personal, controversial and individual, so this course will address generalized issues determined by the code of ethics developed by the National Board of Therapeutic Bodywork and Massage (NCBTMB), The Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP), and The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). There will always be situations you have to access uniquely and trust your judgment.
