This seminar is a must for those Massage Therapists currently employed or considering employment in a physician’s office or rehabilitation clinic where modality therapies are used as part of the patient’s prescribed health care program. In Dr. Koshes’ seminar titled, “Modality Certification For the Massage Therapist,” he dissects each modality including understanding the purpose of each modality, physiological effects, indications, contraindications, application and treatment parameters. An opportunity is offered to achieve a certification status for those therapists who pass an additional written and laboratory practical examination with a grade of 80% or better. This can be accomplished by setting up an appointment at Dr. Koshes' office in Sarasota, Florida to take the additional testing.

The modalities covered in Dr. Koshes’ seminar are cryotherapy, hydrocollation, paraffin wax, ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation. Relative contraindications to the use of any therapy modality are as follows: active hemorrhage, infection, malignancy, diabetes, pregnancy, a pacemaker, over the brain or eyes and with active tuberculosis.

For more information on how to use some of the physical therapy modalities discussed above, contact Dr. Koshes on his website, www.koshes.com
