Poor draping techniques can easily lead to client complaints. Have you given much thought to how your draping techniques could make patients feel uncomfortable?  Perhaps it is time for a refresher in draping! 

This course will review draping for patients in prone, supine and lateral recumbent. We will talk about the ethics of draping, boundaries for massage therapists and their patients, and give very practical training that you can take to your clinic and start using the very next day.
