C. Statement on Technique Policy and Application

It is the policy of the Massage Therapy Programs clinic that only those techniques that are taught in our curriculum may be used in our clinic. Other techniques may be useful, but interns are not yet practicing professionals, and the care they provide to clients in our clinic must be within the training and scope of practice of the supervising massage professionals. Furthermore, we believe the focus of massage therapy interns in the clinic should be on mastering the skills taught in our program.

Also note that if a client presents with symptoms which are the result of an auto accident or a workers comp case, interns may not treat those patients. They are best addressed by professional therapists, as interns could potentially exacerbate symptoms. Interns may not treat clients who are currently in open Personal Injury or Workers Comp cases.
