Welcome to Massageprofessionals.com, a social network for massage
and bodywork therapists. We’re glad you’re here, participating, and
building the profession. We just ask that you follow a few simple
guidelines.
1. Practice respect. We all come from diverse backgrounds,
different associations, various training programs, and with a wide
range of expertise. We’re not always going to agree, but we’re all
in this together. Please practice respect and compassion.
2. Pick the proper venue: Forums are for topic-based
conversations and discussions. Consider using the search tool
before starting a conversation. Your topic may already be in play.
Blogs are for sharing personal stories, updates, and
venting.
Groups provide opportunities to connect with other
practitioners practicing your same modality, in your same locale,
or who otherwise share a common interest. Please follow these
guidelines regarding groups: A) Before establishing a new group,
use the search tool to ensure a similar group hasn’t already been
created. B) Groups should be unaffiliated in terms of professional
association, as this network is nonpartisan. C) If a group remains
largely dormant for 60 days it may be considered inactive and will
be deleted.
3. Advertising is not permitted. All
advertising/solicitation posts for products, services, or money
will be removed. If someone is advertising, please
report the issue. Understandably, you may want to get
the word out regarding your offerings and services; Following are
your options to do so:
* On your own page, you can list your offerings and a "for more
information" website link, but do not include prices.
* You can blog about your offerings, as this is optional for
readers, but again, please do not include prices.
* Defer from sending direct messages and/or group emails to groups
or site members promoting your offerings. This will be considered
spam.
* And finally, please do not include your offerings as a forum
topic or group discussion, or create a group based on your
advertising agenda.
4. This is a professional medium for professional
practitioners. Inappropriate or illicit references to
massage/bodywork will not be tolerated and will be removed. If
someone is posting inappropriate material, please
report the issue.
