Gainesville, FL | October 17-18, 2026 | Enhancing Joint Replacement Rehabilitation | NEW CLASS!
NEW CLASS - Enhancing Joint Replacement Rehabilitation - 17 CE hrs
Pete will explain a timeline of joint replacement surgeries from pre-surgical education, day of surgery requirements, and post-surgical rehabilitation concepts. We will explore how massage therapists can use their knowledge and skills to support successful, positive outcomes for our clients.
Massage therapists regularly have questions about joint replacements asking questions such as, "Should I work on joint area? Can I offer range of motion movements of the replaced joint? When should I begin working on the scar? Is it safe to offer these interventions to joint replacement clients?"
We will explore these excellent questions and so much more! You will see and feel various joint appliances, review the surgical techniques, and understand the complex needs of clients who have had singular or multiple joint replacements. The class will include hands-on manual skills and video presentations about joint anatomy and procedures.
