Clinic Updates
2.0 NEW ACCREDITATION STANDARD 1.12
The standard for accumulating the 330 hours now includes a specific definition of what direct client care means. Please see the definition below:
Activities that support the application of therapeutic practice and are done in direct contact with the patient/client. Direct massage therapy includes taking a history and consulting with the patient/client; developing and implementing an assessment plan; developing and implementing treatment plans; providing remedial exercise and self-care; and charting and recording of notes and findings. It does not include activities such as booking appointments or attending to laundry, or other such activities that could be done by someone else such as a receptionist or an assistant.
No-shows or last-minute cancellations will significantly impact our students. Please be sure to email us at mendmassagefanshawe@gmail.com if you need to cancel or rebook your appointment.
To reduce the risk of missed appointments, three reminder emails are sent to our patients before their appointment. One that is 72 hours, one that is 48 hours and the last is 24 hours before a scheduled appointment. We have included in each email the importance of cancelling or rescheduling asap so other patients can book in, and that our students can achieve their mandatory hours. Please note that if a patient no shows or doesn't give us 24 hours notice they will be removed from the mend schedule and future bookings.
We look forward to seeing all of you in the fall.
