This short Self-Paced Online Home Study 4 CE Hospice Massage & Bodywork teaches:

• Defining hospice care
• Preparation needed to work in hospice or nursing care facilities
• DNR, Living Will & Health Care Proxy Information
• How to increase sensory input as a LMT
• Step-by-step directions with instructor demonstration of how to provide a head-to-toe Sweet Session™ bodywork appointment 
• Instructor Demonstration of a full body massage in a wheelchair

Both of these hands-on sessions can be executed by licensed massage therapists in hospice settings. This brief training does not cover how to obtain employment nor massage therapy contraindications which could be extensive in hospice settings . Our brief 4 hours will be focused on how to execute highly modified full body massage and bodywork appointments for hospice settings. This course is only for trained health care professionals such as licensed massage therapists who already know how to massage and massage therapy contraindications.

In hospice situations, many patients cannot get undressed, or they might have medical conditions such as dementia, and become confused if they forget why they are naked or why a strange person is touching them during a standard massage appointment. This is why we have created a bodywork session called a Sweet Session™, which incorporates both massage and other subtle bodywork to provide a more appropriate appointment in a hospice setting. 

This training includes Instructor Demonstrations with student practice along time of our new bodywork called a Sweet Session™.  Sweet Sessions™ are usually provided to clothed clients, and they can receive the session in the supine, semi-recumbent or seated position.

Once a therapist learns how to provide a Sweet Session™ appointment, they can provide this service to other various compromised clients including those who have lost skin integrity, pregnant women with eclampsia, oncology clients and more. A Sweet Session™" includes gentle massage, joint rotation, bone tracing, comforting holds and a general relaxation routine.
