Description
Doing the hard work has always been in Diana Thompson’s blood. From an early age, philanthropy and health-care inequities fueled her passions. Diana talks with us about the importance of charting and record keeping as critical steps in acting “like health-care providers,” the importance of participation in the client-therapist relationship, and resetting goals with clients to inform their long-term, committed therapeutic wellness path. Diana has been a licensed massage therapist for over 35 years and has a private practice in Seattle treating acute and chronic pain disorders and specializing in postoperative care. Currently, Diana dedicates her time to her web-based documentation system Hands Heal Electronic Health Records, available online at www.handshealehr.com. She authored Integrative Pain Management: Massage, Movement, and Mindfulness-Based Practices and Hands Heal: Communication, Documentation and Insurance Billing for Manual Therapists. She’s written many articles for Massage & Bodywork magazine, including our regular research column Somatic Research from 2010–2013. She is a past president of the Massage Therapy Foundation, and a proud recipient of several national awards.
