Why Study This Course?

The first module focuses on understanding the condition in more detail, including the causes, symptoms, and management of Transverse Myelitis.

The second module covers important considerations that massage therapists need to keep in mind when working with patients with Transverse Myelitis, such as contra-indications, modifications, documenting treatments, and things to consider as a therapist. The third module focuses on patient welfare, including the neuro-specific team members, care, approaching nervous and anxious clients, and temperature sensitivities.

In the fourth module, students will learn about skin conditions related to Transverse Myelitis, while the fifth module covers different presentations of the condition, such as spasticity, muscle tone, tremors, and more. Finally, students will be presented with a case study to read and a suggested treatment plan. They will then be tested on their knowledge in an exam consisting of multiple-choice questions.
