Massage Pathology Chronicles

Review of Mosby’s Pathology for Massage Therapists 2nd edition, by Salvo and Anderson. Within the class of Dr. Johnson.

This chapter covers the importance of having a treatment plan and assessing your client’s condition. The assessment should include subjective and objective data. The client should complete his/her intake form which will provide the therapist with personal and medical information and helps the therapist to determine any contraindications. The therapist will review the intake form and have a short meeting with client. Therapist will discuss reason for client visit, allergies, medication, medical history, etc. At this time the therapist can determine if there are any contraindications.
