Massage therapists and similar health care service providers often work in situations in which they think they are independent contractors but are really being treated as employees. This course will help clinic owners and RMTs understand the difference between an independent contractor and employee relationship, CRA guidelines that distunguish the two types of workers and how to make the most of your independent contractor status.

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.
