A Note to Group Members:
Just a friendly reminder: when adding content (that you are asking people to reply to) to the group, in the future please start a discussion instead of just leaving a comment. This keeps things nice and tidy. :)
That's all!…
Welcome Jonnie! You made a quiet entrance, but we're glad to have you in the group. :)
Thanks Cara for the feedback. I am actually comparing Educating Hands which is here in Miami as a possibility. i think we may not be able to move as soon as possible and I know they are a good school as well. It's great to know that there are two go…
Hey Cara, I went to East West also, like 18 years ago and also taught there for three years. Glad to hear it's still doing well
Laura, I attended East West College 3 years ago. It is a very good school! Very technically thorough. I have a friend that went to Oregon School of Massage and she speaks highly of it.
Hey Denea, yah I bill insurance from time to time. Many therapists don't like to mess with it, but it's actually not too bad.
So do any of you bill insurance?

- a 2007 study involving VA hospitals was released by the AMA in their Archives of Surgery; it focused on the efficacy of massage for post-operative pain management. The results didn't address depression, particul…
The school I graduated from, the Colorado School of Healing Arts teaches Trauma Touch, specifically for trauma bodywork. It was developed by Chris Smith, one of the administrators, and I've seen people fly in from all over the country to take it. Lo…
Well Martha, I recently made some connections with the local VA Hospital Mental Health folks to see if I can do some work with my fellow Veterans and I hope that Morphine is only being used to alleviate physical pain. That is what it is designed to…
Hey, I read an article in the news today that made my mind go all over the place.
NYT - Morphine May Help Traumatic Stress
On one hand, I think it's great that they are now able to decrease some of the more scary (not the right word, but I can't t…

Gloria Coppola said… - Hi Martha!
Would you please participate in a massage survey and tell your colleagues too!? 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
