Can we all meet in the middle? The BOK Committee is working to develop a consensus of what a therapist needs to know before beginning work on the public in all states. Ok, this will accomplish every state massage boards' primary purpose,"to protect the public".

Massage School is like basic training, not all the troops are ready when they graduate. Some drop out. Some go on to futher schooling. And some go directly to the workplace and learn by OJT(on the job training).

Our profession is evolving and growng. Layers are beginning to develop into levels. And credentials will follow suit probably. We are finally getting organized to keep growing.

But as we do grow, we must allow others the "respect" to choose their way.

Lisa,
Congratulations on being a survivor !
