Tene' replied to Tene''s discussion Massage Mentor"Hi Kris!
Thank you so much for this response. I do understand what you are saying and also understand the importance of figuring out exactly what I am looking for in advance in a mentor. For me, it is so important to have my stuff together…"

Travis Alligood replied to Tene''s discussion Massage Mentor"Hi Tene,
I have been a LMT now for two years. I am always looking for better ways to do something, I have really learned a lot of different ways of doing things by just talking to some of my fellow massage and bodywork therapist here. I understand…"
Travis Alligood replied to Tene''s discussion Massage Mentor"Kris,
Thank you so much for your input, I read and understand everything you illustrated here and it makes perfect sense. Being able to look someone in the eyes and being able to understand what they are saying can be two different things. Luckily…"
Tene' replied to Tene''s discussion Massage Mentor"Frank: It's sad, but that is true for a lot of things. I think that people think that if they help you, you will want to take what they have. And of course, that is the furthest from the truth in some cases. I mean there are always people out…"

Frank J replied to Tene''s discussion Massage Mentor"Sounds like a good idea. But based on my experience it is hard to find someone who will be willing to do such a thing. It seems as if everyone tries to get and keep everyone for themselves. I am one who realizes that everyone is not for me and I am…"

Tene' replied to Frank J's discussion Good Deal or Bad Deal"I do agree somewhat with Daniel. One has to make sure that who they are purchasing from is reputable. If not, there is the potential the person purchasing could be out of money and have gained added stress.

Kelly Grounds replied to Tene''s discussion Warmness in Hip Area"When I have trochanter bursitus, the area is swollen. ( But not all people are the same. ) Good for you for referring her to her GenPrac."
Tene' replied to Tene''s discussion Warmness in Hip Area"Thanks Robin! I will refer her to her physician. I want her to be able to get a diagnosis to make sure it is nothing serious.

Tene' replied to Tene''s discussion Warmness in Hip Area"Hi Joe,
Yes, there is increased warmth in that area. It almost feels like what other areas of the body would feel like if I put some heat on it first before working. She complains of some normal soreness, but nothing out of the ordinary. Thanks for…"

I have in different areas. It usually presents when the body is working hard to heal in that area. Sounds like your recommedations have been good so far; I'd still refer her to her doctor for a diagnois, just to be sure, and go…"

Kimberly J. Ale said… - Hi Tene' Thanks for responding to my many questions. It is alright that you didn't respond right away because I hadn't been on my computer in a month!!!!! I am not a regular-daily computer user. I find myself playing a lot of games and wasting time. No discipline I suppose...so I just stay away. Then when I finally do get on I have about 200 e-mails. I answer about 10 then start to get bored....and play games again...lol It's a vicious cycles....hehe
Anyway, I've heard that New Jersey is planning to adopt a National Test in March. I don't know which one it will be so I am planning to get my license first then hopefully take whichever test they (finally) adopt. How about you?

- I am in Glassboro. I have my own massage business doing outcalls only...for the time being anyway. I plan to take the National test...then who knows from there. How about you? What school did you go to? How long ago?
