A referral of a patient when appropriate to another medical specialist should be performed following a certain set of guidelines. In Dr. Koshes’ massage therapy continuing education course titled, “Clinical Neurology And Orthopedics For The Massage Therapist,” he reviews ways a Florida State Licensed Massage Therapist can determine if a patient would need to be referred outside their office for additional evaluation. He also covers ways a Massage Therapist can establish a referral network in their community, the proper way to refer a patient to another medical specialist and how to communicate effectively to your patient the referring practitioners recommendations.

In this online course For Massage Therapy you will be taught that a patient should show at least 50% improvement with their objective findings within the first 4 weeks of care. Stay in control of your patient’s care. If the patient’s condition is not showing improvement, refer the patient for a second medical opinion.

For additional information on how to refer properly to other medical specialist, contact Dr. Koshes at his Florida LMT continuing education website, www.koshes.com. On the website you will also find additional information on Dr. Koshes’ other online CEU massage therapy classes.
