It's very important that people know that there are different types of massage and massage practitioners. Some do great relaxation massage and others do truly therapeutic massage that can get rid of pain. If a reader has pain but goes for a relaxation-type massage, he or she will be disappointed if the massage doesn't relieve their pain. Picking the appropriate therapist for their needs means the reader will be happier. Best, Kathryn Hi Mark, Thank you for your comment.

Some massage practitioners prefer to do "relaxation" or "stress reduction" or "wellness" massage and that's fine. That has benefit. BUT when someone has pain and goes to one of those practitioners they generally are disappointed when they leave. As one woman told me, "I had no idea why I was handing over $70 after the session." That's not good for the client or for our profession. That client will say, "I tried massage and it didn't help." Massage therapy is such great natural medicine when you are "in the hands" of a knowledgeable, skilled, well educated therapist. <em>Love</em> it! Kathryn Hi Kimberley, Thank you for writing!

Also quite helpful as a reminder to fellow therapists never to rest on their laurels, but to be inspired to learn more about their chosen metier so that they can provide the best and most effective service possible.
