Depositions and Billing Attorneys
For a deposition I charge a rate that is similar to a home visit or just about 2 hours of time. Time and mileage for travel can be folded into this. Don't be worried about what seems like a high fee,…

Working with a Chiropractor
Sally, I'm not sure what state you are in but I agree with the other-it's unethical and illegal to pay for referrals. Also, be careful that the chiro does really believe that massage is beneficial an…

Good morning Sally,
I have found this common when people have been to practitioners who are less than skilled in communication, warming up/ preparing tissue for deeper work, work too fast, too deep, have an agenda, or a big ego. I don't think massag…

Sally,
I'm not sure what state you are in but I agree with the other-it's unethical and illegal to pay for referrals. Also, be careful that the chiro does really believe that massage is beneficial and not just another profit center. Also, if you are…
I am reading this post right after something similar happened at our school's clinic. Our intake forms are thorough and we train our students to ask questions beyond what's on the paper. However, many people don't get that massage is not just being…
Could it have been an intentional neglect in telling you about the bone spur, for whatever reason..? We are asking our clients for an incredible amount of trust, and self knowledge too, for that matter. And visa versa.. I would venture to bet that s…

Hi Allan J, Always looking for the report . . . sometimes that's all you get. Having said that, accurate interpretation is sometimes lacking. Moreover, as you would know, xrays don't show everything of interest. Its really to identify potential red…

Hi Jody. Yes, it often happens, so I try to remember to ask new clients (a) how long has this been troubling you? (to establish chronicity . . (b) do you have any xrays you'd like to bring along? Pretty obvious, I know, but its easy to let go of the…
Great question. I start with a written history form that I have clients fill out prior to their first visit. They download the form from my website. On the form I try to get all of their pertinent medical history, including surgeries, therapies, tra…
Good morning all,I just wanted to relate an experience that I had last week and see if anyone has any feedback or comments.
I had a call from a new client who was in pain. She scheduled ASAP and during the intake she mentioned neck pain, that an x-r…

After many years of dealing with clients who no show, I have a written agreement, three signs in direct view, and I tell new clients about the policy during their phone intake. I've still had several people try to dodge the fee, not return calls, et…
Sue,
I think it's an EMG or nerve study. Did the doc doing the study test your other non-involved side? Remember there are nine tunnels between the neck and wrist. While I have seen some success with the CTS release, I've also seen it not work well.…

Gloria Coppola said… - Hi Jody!
Would you please participate in the massage survey? Thanks!
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=OhBtGlEETUWwi9h5olkCGQ_3d_3d
Please help me compile this information. I'd like more than a 1,000 if possible. Sure it is!
Your participation is MOST appreciated.
Remember you do not have to answer all the questions and Page 2 is "optional". Page two is for those employed only, NOT Self Employed!The survey company automatically includes Page 2 and I was unable to edit or delete. SO it IS OPTIONAL!
Pass it on to your colleagues too.
The intention is to publish this research to assist
Future LMT's, educators, employers and anyone else interested in the statistics of the massage industry!
I want to give you a voice to share your thoughts and experiences.
The Survey will end November 29, 2009
