The Ergonomics of Parenting

Lately, several clients have come in with pain issues that might be avoided with a review of their environmental influences.

Using the Evidence to Promote Your Practice

These days it's not difficult to find sources for massage therapy (MT) research information. Pop in on FaceBook and many practices have their own page.

Hi Robin, don't know about the Stetson's in MIchigan, but your boyfriend is the best if he's anything like my Stetson. Husband Dale and his bro Craig are both directly decended from John B, Stetson hat founder. There's a GREAT bunch of relatives, members of the Stetson Clan who meet annually in MA.
