Podcast: Shingles Redux: “I Have a Client Who . . .”

In our Third Annual Shingles Episode, we consider a client who developed shingles soon after receiving massage. Is it possible that the massage caused it? And what are the safety guidelines about working with someone during a shingles outbreak? It turns out this is all more complex than it sounds, and the decisions here require some nuance.
