Ethics: Therapeutic Relationships Massage CEU

Massage CE Program

This Ethics program will provide you with a structure for ethical decision-making that will serve your clients, yourself, your profession and your community. State licensing boards and professional associations set forth professional codes of ethics to define standards of professional conduct that ensure the highest good for the client in our therapeutic relationships. The first step in practicing ethically is to become aware of these established regulations and to implement them within your professional practice.

Ethics within the health care profession is concerned with the establishment and maintenance of moral relationships between those individuals coming in for treatment, on the one hand, and the professional therapists rendering treatment, on the other. Together our personal and professional codes of ethics form the basis for our standards of ethical decision-making and resulting conduct.

In this course you will:

• understand the role that a professional code of ethics and standards of practice play in the practice of massage therapy
• explore ethical boundaries of therapeutic relationships with clients, colleagues and the community
• determine the steps involved in developing a treatment plan and obtaining informed consent
• determine how to ensure confidentiality of your client
• define the scope of practice within the ethical boundaries for a massage professional
• identify potential ethical violations within therapeutic relationships
• develop a criteria to determine ethical action.

This program contains the required 2 hours pertaining to the NCBTMB's Standard V: Roles and Boundaries for National Certification renewal.

(NOTE: Ethics is a requirement for Florida Massage licensure renewal and National Certification renewal.)

This is the most clearly written and thought-out presentation on this matter I have encountered in the past 15 years.
