Charting Skills: detail effective and time-efficient

March 8, Cambridge, ON – The Ontario Massage Therapist Association (OMTA) announces a one day seminar titled Charting Skills: detail effective and time-efficient to be held on Sunday, April 25, 2010, at the Canadian College of Massage & Hydrotherapy - Cambridge Campus.

March 8, 2010  By Massage Therapy Canada




The event
runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and will feature speaker Don Dillon, RMT.

Massage therapists would
rather provide care than notate their findings and treatment plans. 
Yet with growing regulation and a real need to serve patients better, RMTs
require good records to provide good care.

Course Outline

The seminar will:



  • Discuss the dimensions of
    pain, and why simply asking about "pain" is not enough;
  • Examine challenges and special considerations
    when taking a case history;
  • Identify yellow and red flags in the intake;
  • Easily document postural distortions,
    range-of-motion and palpatory findings;
  • Review CMTO guidelines for record-keeping;
  • Create better treatment plans;
  • Clarify the symptom picture through the use of
    pain and disbility questionnaires;
  • Track the downward spiral of soft-tissue
    dysfunctions.
