As a novelty, I thought I'd try posting some actual content on this journal. Considering the last thing I posted was, uh, four years ago, any content at all ought to qualify as pretty darn novel.
At any rate: to start off, let us have a rousing round of Ask A Licensed Massage Therapist! Got any burning questions about massage therapy, bodywork, or related fields? I will try to answer all comments here promptly, even if the answer is "Iunno, let me look that up and get back to you."

Good Things To Do is such a long list, heavens there's a zillion modalities and minimal training just about anywhere is 500 hours for a reason! But my biggest suggestion is: go slower. Most people start off with an instinct to move much, much too quickly. So breathe in time with the person you're working on, center, and slow down.
