MT & THE INTERNET:
What Kind Of A Combination Is That?
On its face, a very unlikely one. The lowest-tech with the highest-tech? The earliest (health) tech with the latest (who knows how healthy) tech? The perfect Yin & Yang? A combination by contradiction? Some sort of high-touch khutzpa? You wonder.A FEW FACTS TO CONSIDER:
- Massage Therapy (MT) is one of the three most often used drugfree healthcare modalities in the US (according to a study of Harvard Medical School)
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome--a computer-related, repetitive-strain type injury, is the fastest growing occupational injury--now one of the most common submissions on health insurance forms
- Work-stress overload-related problems (back and neck pain, headaches, intestinal irregularities, sleep disorders, chemical dependency, lateism, and absenteeism, etc, etc ) bite millions of dollars out of the US Gross National Product each year
- Many large and small New York companies routinely benefit from quality of work life (QWL) MT programs. (To arrange for a corporate QWL/MT program tailored your company's needs and budget, just drop us a note.)
And did you know that Massage Therapy is a valid, cost-effective, reliable and available remedy for the prevention and rehab of all of the above? Or do you still think Massage Therapy is just a luxury-type beauty treatment or a shopping-mall/locker-room gimmick?
STAY TUNED . . . because we're here to tell you the "busting to be told," well-kept secret about professional-level Massage Therapy. Stuff that the media somehow don't get around to. This stuff, you see, is the opposite of "sexy". Somehow, however, more and more people are finding this stuff very useful. And we are more than happy to share the info with the whole world.
WHO SHOULD STAY TUNED . . .? If you are an interested consumer, a licensed massage therapist [LicMT, or equivalent], if you would like to become a LicMT and develop a professional-level practice, or if you are or you know a concientious, open-minded health professional--you, perhaps?--webmark our site and participate in the unfolding story of the MT profession online.
