As a healthcare or and wellness provider, you know that therapeutic interventions include the use of human touch. Therapeutic healthcare interventions include bandaging and wound care, CPR, bathing the patient, and palpating. For wellness practitioners, pressure is applied when giving massages- relaxation, sports, lymphatic drainage, deep tissue, reflexology, and other services. But how do you know when you’re applying too much pressure unless the patient complains? How do you know when you’re applying too little pressure to be effective?
Now through newly developed cutting edge technology and research, health and wellness providers can assess their own applied force in measurable units. After self-assessment, providers will practice and develop muscle memory to apply light, gentle, medium, heavy and intense pressure, and a new way to document the care in health records. The new skill will lead to uniformity in your applied force and standardization across healthcare and wellness providers, leading to higher patient/client satisfaction.
Continuing Education Workshops
During this highly interactive workshop you will review:
· The sense of touch & types of touch

Certification
Obtain certification in Standardized Touch (TM)! During this three-hour workshop, you will practice, retain and reproduce touch pressure ranges for five distinct levels of force and pressure, while at the same time developing muscle memory that aides you in standardizing your force and pressure! At the conclusion, you can demonstrate your competency and be awarded Standardized Touch(TM) certification by Mendology, Inc.
