Getting massage covered by health insurance
Getting massage covered by health insurance is always a hot topic. Many MT want to stay out of the healthcare business and not get into working with insurance and the medical profession claiming that it takes the 'art' out of doing massage. The medical profession and insurance companies are seen as places that will eat massage therapists for breakfast!
On the other hand, getting massage covered by health insurance in every state can help the profession become more of a profession. …

Why we need more MT who can bill for insurance.
Massage Insurance Billing is a controversial topic. Many MT want to avoid it because of the challenges of extra paperwork and low returns. They also are concerned that by getting involved in the medical process, they will lose their ability to help clients in the way they do now and will get mixed up in the 'fixing' mentality of insurance companies.
Being able to bill for massage is one of the big factors that has allowed me to stay in practice for so long (23 years). I…

Ok so I sort of get the idea of research but I am research illiterate!

I'm sorry, I just don't get research. I'm not interested in it really even though I do have more of a science background than most massage therapists (AA degree in Biology). I am interested enough that I do keep trying… Continue

The future of the massage profession??
I sometimes wonder about the future of the massage profession and where it might be in another 20 years. I know when I first started in 1987 with my little 250 hours of training, I would have never thought I'd last this long. Back then there was no such thing as getting a job in massage - a real employee job. Any job back then was an independent contractor. My rent was $100 in my first office space in a gym and that was split between 2 people!
