Professionals are members of a profession governed by a code of ethics who profess commitment to competence, integrity, and promotion of the public good within their area of expertise. Professionals are accountable to those they serve (clients), colleagues (other massage professionals), and the profession itself (the good reputation of massage therapy in the public’s eye). In this course, we learn to behave in a manner befitting a health care professional and form healthy therapeutic relationships with clients. We do this by understanding personal and professional boundaries, avoiding dual relationships, and taking action to prevent sexual misconduct in the massage workplace.
