Wendy Smith,LMT,MTI,CLT,CIMI Hospital Based Massage

As for the growth of hospital massage programs nationwide, Manworren reiterates, "From a pain management standpoint, it just makes sense. People are incredibly accepting of massage and parents love it."

Steve Copenhaver, MD, a pediatric pulmonologist at Dallas Children's is one of the program's staunchest advocates. "We're always looking for new things," he says. "I think it's an excellent measure to use without any side effects." Copenhaver points out that t… Continue

Ivy Hultquist The Best Massage I Ever Recieved

Last night I got in bed and turned on The Food Network for its sedative effect. A new show, The Best Thing I Ever Ate, was on at the time. This show invites celebrity chefs to come on and talk, like the title says, about the best thing they ever ate. I shut the television off and began to think the best thing I ever ate. I thought about the portabella/avocado panini I had in Santa Fe, shitake mushroom rolls at my favorite restaurant, and several other del… Continue

JB Harding, III LMT A.A.S. African Americans are coming to Touch!

It's interesting to me to see the many changes that is occuring in our industry; one of them the most being the number of African Americans that are in the industry or attending school for massage. When I first attended school back in 1998, there was only one other sista n the program. Once I attended my school I graduated from, the class was predominating African American. That made me feel real good about things.
We don't get too much exposure to massage in th… Continue

Wendy Smith,LMT,MTI,CLT,CIMI Visceral Massage


"visceral articulations" which like skeletal articulations have
sliding surfaces and a system of attachment. These sliding surfaces are the
serous membranes and an organ can be contiguous with a muscular wall
(liver-diaphragm), with the skeleton (lung-thorax) or with another organ
(liver-kidney). A visceral restriction occurs when an organ loses part or all
of its ability to move.… Continue

Rob Buckley Seeking "Sister" Schools or "Sister" centers in America...

Namaste everyone,

Trust you all are having a wonderful day so far. Here in Kathmandu the weather is shifting quickly from cold to hot, with a short-lived Spring. Of course, that means tourist and trekking season is upon us, and we're doing our best to catch as many tourists as possible at our spa boutiques - All profits go to our school.

At any rate, we are really hopeful of connecting with at least 30 massage therapy schools, yoga centers, spas, massage therapis

Jim Spears Building a Massage Practice by Connecting through Consultations.

One of the most important pieces of building a successful massage practice is to connect with your clients in a way that builds trust, comfort, and healing. Creating an atmosphere of trust and healing requires that we be good listeners both in the literal sense, as well as with our hands. This starts with the first encounter and is crucial to develop during the first session.

Rather then rushing into the first massage, I suggest taking between 30-45 minutes to do a consultation with a… Continue
