The Future Depends on What You Do Today

Deep Vein Thrombosis is one of the major contraindications of massage therapy.  USOLMT prepared a full color 8x10 flyer that you can download or print or share on your socials with your clients.  Make it a point to speak to your clients about DVT this month when they come to see you and how important it is that they share their history with DVT and blood thinners with you. Download the Flyer. 

Celebrate your employee this month by planning an employee spirit week!  Make each day a different them and have some fun at work! Check out some of these ideas from Teambuilding.

It's ethics awareness month, so, we've developed a set of Ethical Business Social Media Graphics free for you to download. This might be a good time to take an ethics course or read through your ethics books from massage school.  Check out these online Ethics Courses from our Continuing Education Partner, Laura Allen Clayton.  

Are you bound by a mandated reporter law in your practice?  While massage therapists are not typically bound by these laws, they are in some states.  This is a good time to brush up on your state regulations and find out what is required of you when you suspect a client may be a victim of abuse or neglect. 

March is Transgender Month of Action for Healthcare Equality.  The Human Rights Campaign is working to fight 340 Anti-LGBTQIA+ Bills introduced this year, with 150 of those targeting transgender people. Throughout history, healthcare has been discriminatory against LGBT+ groups, and particularly transgender individuals. 

Not only do they deserve healthcare like everyone else, they have specific needs that require attention. Take this month to stand up for our transgender friends and stand with them in their fight for equality.  Find out more about the Human Rights Campaign. 

This month celebrates International Women's Day, and what better way to do that than by recognizing the brilliant women in Massage Therapy who have made an impact on you and your practice.  Give them a shoutout on social media and use the hashtag #womeninmassagetherapy.
