Early in my career, I discovered that Traditional Deep Tissue Massage was really painful for me and for my clients. I decided that if I wanted to continue do massage that I had to find another way that was easier on both of us but still resulted in a positive outcome. I started to utilize more Swedish and Vibrational touch and found that it was pain free for me and the vibrational touch went to the bone which provided my clients with painless deep tissue outcomes. I began to apply it to the music that I had playing in the background during a massage and the first client I did this with burst into tears and experienced a huge emotional release. A bit scary but my background in counseling stepped up to the plate and the outcome was a good one. In 1980, I began a serious level of effort to research the effects of emotion on the body. This brought to light that it was quite likely that all physical stress, good or bad, is initiated by or connected to an emotional trigger of some sort. In the end, I invented the Acoustical Touch System for massage furnishings which transmits the musical vibrations through the table, then I was encouraged to develop and teach the technique of Vibrational Attunement Massage to other therapist. I now have 2 offices with a good opportunity to open another one the first of the year. Life is Good and the massages are what keeps my 66 year old body vibrationally happy and healthy.

At 7:48pm on November 21, 2009, Gloria Coppola said…: Hi Dustin! Enjoy the site.

Would you please participate in a massage survey and tell your colleagues too?! Sure could use more male input as well. 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

Updates will be posted on this discussion throughout the survey and final results will be provided once all information is compiled and reviewed.
