This hands on class is designed to help massage therapists gain the understanding of the cumulative effect of having covid, its effect on multi organ systems in the body, and the long-term effects of living with long covid/PASC. The U.S. Government Accountability Office in May of 2022 released that up to 23 million Americans are suffering from long covid. With these alarming numbers considerations need to be taken with the complexity of the diagnosis to understand how massage is beneficial and how to safely adapt massage for those living with longhaulers. Post Covid Care Centers have been created throughout the US and they are recommending integrative, functional, and allopathic medicine, along with massage to help longhaulers manage their symptoms.
