I suspect the average perception is that massage is all about feeling good, not necessarily solving legitimate anatomical issues. I personally recommend massage to all of my clients and athletes to ensure any kind of muscle adhesions are worked out. At any rate, please continue the good work. Hello Julie,

I too actually feel like a 'lone barker' on this issue. People I think are just concerned about making a living and not stepping up to help make changes and that is ok too. What are your ideas? Contact me through my site if want more info. Julie That sounds like exactly what is needed.

I would like to provide similar input to the good students who are about to enter the world of massage here in Ohio, as well as the newbie beginners. I do not know if I have the savvy to carry it as effectively as you seem to be with your info and impact. And I am not sure what my question is for you. But I have some ideas that I think are on target - from where I see the issue. My biggest concern about the massage therapy profession is the inconsistency of training - which does include the many parameters as your ebook mentions. My interest is in developing those areas of skill that are glossed over by the local schools (because their missions are to pump out kids so they can "pass" their licensure exam) - this includes touch, working with the naked form, ego, mechanics that means more than posturing, and stretching. Moreso, my focus is on health care of the practitioner. I sometimes think I am a lone barker with ideas of how to that could easily be perceived as a whiner in the wind. However, I really rather want to take the approach of being the professional who can offer more motivating incites, resources and progressive stepping stones to practitioners. So, I hope to be effective here in the Mid-West, as it seems you are in the Pacific West - but with a respect to what you are doing as well. Any suggestions and comments - muchos thanks. Respectfully, Renee Hey Julie,

Keep up the great work!!
