Hi Monica !

Would you please participate in a massage survey?

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

I became interested in cupping when I was introduced to it by another therapist. She is taking the class in Oct and had a cupping kit and demonstrated it on me. It immediately made me think of a specific client that I have that has really tight neck and shoulders that I think it would help eleviate the problem. Plus it seems to be the "new" technique on the block and sounds really interesting to me.

I do mostly full body massages about 12-25 a week. I love it and am glad that I do this for a living. I also do stone therapy, I am training to be a doula and have assisted 4 women already, cranio sacral therapy, polarity and reflexology. I live in lower MI and rent a really cute room in a wellness cottage.

In Danville people don't know so match about massage, and I cant say what most popular... but most my clients ask for deep and smooth massage, also pain relief
My personal favorite technique is Seifuku-jitsu, its Acupressure with stretching and energy balance. I use anything what can help people and legal:)

Hi Monica...thanks for joining Energy Workers. Do you incorporate energy work into your massage? If so, do you have any tips or suggestions for massage therapists?
