Ways of working with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s, as well as depression and anxiety, will be addressed. Students will learn effective adaptations to treatment, such as levels of pressure, pacing, use of props, working with the client in a variety of positions on the table, a recliner, or bed, with or without clothing, and with or without lubricant.

Hygiene and safety concerns will be addressed, as well as communication style and the creation of a trusting, safe environment for working with the elderly.
