This document outlines the certification process and guidelines for becoming an Animal Massage and Care Provider (AMCP). It includes 11 chapters covering topics like IPTouch introduction, animal lore, techniques, anatomy, and communication. Students are required to complete certification projects, take photos of 40 IPTouch sessions with animals, and study reference materials. Guidelines state that IPTouch is not responsible for safety during sessions and students must follow their state's regulations. Certification is either passed or requires redoing. The goal is for students to enjoy learning hands-on techniques to help animals through the IPTouch program.

IPTouch Policy GuidelinesIPT is not responsible for individual state regulations concerning animal massage.Outside teaching of IPTouch AMCP materials and concepts is fully owned by IPTouch and may be considered illegal.Performing out of scope training protocols will void all IPT certification and liability insurance policies. IPT reserves the right to revoke and or suspend class participation and or certification privileges due to error or inappropriate behavior of said provider.IPT is not responsible for safety or medical issues that may occur during IPT participation. I understand that the information shared in no way takes the place of a veterinarians expertise or diagnostic skills. IPT AMCPs CANNOT council in nutritional or herbal concepts without veterinarian guidance and pre-patient assessment. Students are responsible for their own independent animal access for continued studies. I understand there is a NO REFUND policy once IPT has begun sending course supplies. I understand I am responsible for notifying IPT & community clients concerning my states legal requirements for animal massage protocols.Computerized instructor communication is required for continued AMCP activitiesFollowing AMCP graduation I understand I must have individual liability insurance and a separate company name to begin IPT practice for profit IPTouch in the community. Copying IPT materials for purposes other than self study is illegal & may facilitate a lawsuit against said party. Only certified AMCPs have access to logo use. I understand and accept protocols for AMCP IPT re-certification.IPTs goal is Animal Rescue through Educational Knowledge. I am solely responsible for all of my own individual course work.12Innovative Pet Therapy

Manual Therapy: treatment of health ailments of various etiologies through 'hands-on', physical intervention. This form of physical treatment usually refers to hands-on techniques and includes soft tissue mobilization, various connective tissue techniques, Myofascial release, craniosacral techniques, mobilization of joints, joint manipulation, mobilization of neural tissue, visceral mobilization, strain and counter strain, and Integrative Manual Therapy. ROM: Range of Motion: facilitates joint alignment through passive motion in that joint's anatomical pattern.Stretching: transitive and intransitive verb to lengthen, widen, or extend something, or become lengthened, widened, or extended, especially by force. Modalities: medicine something used in the treatment of a disorder, e.g. surgery or chemotherapy. (Ultrasound, Estim ect) 15Innovative Pet Therapy
- 54. Pets IN Class Room ProtocolsShots up to date.Pets must be groomed, brushed & clean prior to class access. Dogs & Cats in AMCP classes must be spayed or neutered.An open topped exercise pen with a large blanket (as opposed to the carpet) is required for pets that attend classes. These private IPT areas need to be large enough for a human to sit comfortably inside with them. Pets must be safely on leashes ect. at all times when out of exercise pens.We cannot have water or food readily available on the floor. Class is short enough with enough breaks to share these needs outside, somewhat away from the building and walkways. Pets are only allowed in building 5. (Computer lab with pets is a no no).Potty time is away from the building (bring a poop bag!)ALL small species of pets are welcome, however if you feel your pet needs much of your attention, you may find it best to absorb lecture materials with a stuffed animal for the time being. (I myself have this issue. As you can see my own pets do not attend my classes when I teach).Pet greetings with other pets will need direct owner supervision.Pet owners must be on site with their own pets during class time.Out of town participants will be assisted in the above areas.16Innovative Pet Therapy
