Basic Student Massage Clinic
Client intake, evaluation & treatment design

Prerequisite: Swedish Massage

Held in MTIC Student Clinic. Students are scheduled to have 3 - 1 hour massage appointments under supervision by a CMT teacher at MTIC for each 5 hour clinic shift.

Students also learn proper clinic protocol, greeting the client, doing history, interview, assessment and plan a massage. The plan is approved by the supervisor and the student delivers the massage. The supervisor will visit the room to observe and teach the student as needed.

The student will do SOAP notes and charting of the session, collect payment from the client, reschedule the client, discuss the case with the supervisor and prepare the room for the next appointment.

There are hydrocollators in each clinic treatment room and access to cold packs and a TDK heat lamp, oils, liniments and balms.

Students also work the desk, make reminder calls to clients, set up files and help ensure a smooth and successful clinic operation by helping the supervisor as required.
