&lt;li&gt;Discern the variables that inform clinical decision-making for massage therapy for clients who live with this disorder&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Predict appropriate modifications in massage therapy for clients who live with these conditions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Research&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A full bibliography will be provided with the attendee handout. This includes primary and secondary sources with a special emphasis on information that is relevant for massage therapists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Practice in a manner consistent with current developments in the profession&lt;/em&gt;: This class will bring attendees up to date on current understandings of the conditions under discussion, and any research about massage in those contexts as well.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is all but inevitable that our aging clients will experience any or all of these conditions:&amp;nbsp; osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and spondylosis. Join us for a rich and fact-filled exploration of these common conditions, with special emphasis on how massage therapy can be modified for safe and effective work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Learning Outcomes &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Participants will be able to&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Identify and describe the definition, demographics, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms and common treatment options for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and spondylosis&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Discern the variables that inform clinical decision-making for massage therapy for clients who live with these disorders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Predict appropriate adaptations and modifications that clients/patients who live with these disorders might need&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Research&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A full bibliography will be provided with the attendee handout. This includes primary and secondary sources with a special emphasis on information that is relevant for massage therapists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;Target Audience&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This class will be useful for RMTs of all levels of experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;CMTO Competencies&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Communicate effectively&lt;/em&gt;: this course will help attendees to have useful conversations with their clients about their health.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Function in a client&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em&gt;centered manner&lt;/em&gt;: This course emphasizes that each person&amp;rsquo;s experience is unique, and clinical decisions must be made on a case-by-case (and day-by-day) basis.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Practice in a manner consistent with current developments in the profession&lt;/em&gt;: This class will bring attendees up to date on current understandings of the conditions under discussion, and any research about massage in those contexts as well.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Use an evidence&lt;/em&gt;-&lt;em&gt;informed approach in your work&lt;/em&gt;: This class will use the best available recent information, and will provide attendees with links to all available resources.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Interact effectively with other professionals&lt;/em&gt;: This class will help attendees identify key decision points for clinical practice, so that they can have productive consultations with other healthcare providers if that is necessary.&lt;/li&gt;
