- Importance of Hypertension Monitoring: Professionals must check clients' blood pressure before each session to ensure safety, especially for those with hypertension.
- Market Opportunities: Home-based MET services offer significant opportunities, including working in nursing homes and senior independent living facilities.
- Success Stories: Highlighting successful practitioners, like Yllli Bilani, MES, who provides MET services in independent living facilities, underscores the potential for growth in this field.
