"Hi Heather,
I too struggle with this from time to time. However, without going into my own issues, here are some suggestions:
I work out of a couple of spas, have private clients, and work out of a country club. I get clients who ask for deep…"

Heather Moll replied to Heather Moll's discussion Chiropractor Shopping in the group Massage in a Chiropractic Setting"Yes Julie, you were right on with these questions. Most commonly I ran into a situation where a DC wanted me to come in as an independant contractor..... but they wanted to set my hours and offered me a flat rate for my services, ($30 per hour)…"

Erica Olson replied to Heather Moll's discussion Deep Tissue Burn Out in the group LMTs who have chronic pain issues"How's your self-care? Are you receiving regular bodywork--massage, acupuncture, etc? Exercising (lifting weights has been especially helpful for me) and stretching? Are you overloading yourself with clients? Too many in a day, in a row, in a…"
Julie Onofrio replied to Heather Moll's discussion Chiropractor Shopping in the group Massage in a Chiropractic Setting"I would actually go in as a client first and see if I would want them to work on me or would you send your family members there? Do they have a similar philosophy about healing as you do?
Also with chiropractors most try to hire you as an indep.…"

I am an instructor for Ashiatsu, based out of Texas. We have instructors across the nation, maybe this form of deep tissue is an option for you to consider! Go to our site, www.deepfeet.com, to see locations, schedules, and more info"
Rick Johnson replied to Heather Moll's discussion Chiropractor Shopping in the group Massage in a Chiropractic Setting"Gladly. When a client comes to the office for treatment he/she sees two health care professionals at the same time. They both treat her issues. It's a therapy intensity she rarely, if ever, receives from any other health care giver. Both…"
Robert Chute replied to Heather Moll's discussion Chiropractor Shopping"The back page column of Massage & Bodywork touches on some massage therapist/chiropractor issues. You may want to read that though (fair warning) it was written by some schmoe."
Heather Moll replied to Heather Moll's discussion Chiropractor Shopping in the group Massage in a Chiropractic Setting"Thanks Rick. I'm definately looking for more of a collaborative effort. Would you mind elaborating on the bang for your buck point? Is it better for me to rent the space outright or split a percentage of the appointments. Is it likely that the…"
Heather Moll replied to Heather Moll's discussion Chiropractor Shopping in the group Massage in a Chiropractic Setting"These are great questions. I'm curious about the table warmer... I do like to use a table warmer, especially in the winter. Has this been a problem for you in the past? Thanks so much for your response.

Rick Johnson replied to Heather Moll's discussion Chiropractor Shopping in the group Massage in a Chiropractic Setting"Since Serenity covered the contractual side of the issue quite well, I'll just come at it from a quality of work angle and that is, what will the working relationship be between you and the DC? Will it be a team effort where the doc works…"
Heather Moll replied to Rick Morgan's discussion Call For Articles: Pregnancy Massage in the group Authors and Editors"This is great. My first professional massage was one that I received while I was pregnant with my second child. It was amazing and now here I am! I spent years as a journalist and would love very much to contribute to this topic. Is there a monitary…"

Deep Tissue Burn Out
I do a lot of deep tissue work on my clients and I'm starting to feel the negative effects on my body. I was treated several years ago for a herniated disc at C7-T1 which led to hypertension in my traps and eventually bursitis in my right shoulder. I've noticed that when I'm doing massage, the activity itself makes the pain go away but more and more I'm waking up with stiff neck and shoulder pain. I've started adding a little extra to the ticket for deep tissue work on my clients (mostly to…See More

Chiropractor Shopping
I am a relatively new MT and I currently work in a health club but am considering part time work with a local chiropractor. I have several appointments this week to meet with chiropractors in my area and would like to know some good questions to ask. I'm going in as an independent contractor and I have never worked in a chiropractic setting before. Any advice would help. Thanks.

I am a massage therapist with RA and spinal degeneration. I love what I do, but some days it is hard to even move. I wanted to start a support group for others in the same boat.See More
