Prevention of injury and self-care strategies are necessary to the health of every Massage Therapist

You are doing great keep it going! And yes the Festival is going to be fantastic. I look forward to meeting you there. Keep the Faith!

Hi Karina - See your group is growing! Really liked your two Blogs. A lot of people are arguing,"Why do we need anatamy in School, we will just forget it afterwards. Should Anatomy be required after school? Keep the Faith!

Hi Karina,
Did not get an email, not sure why, sorry to have not responded. Love your facebook posts. I am actually a Certified Neruromuscular Therapist specializing in soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. I do relaxation and deep tissue for my clients as well. Take care...

How's your book doing? Excited to help promote it in M&B!

Hi Karina,
Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to hear about your disc problem, that sounds uncomfortable - I hope you're able to treat it and get back to working and feeling better.

I think it would have been helpful if you had commented in the body of the discussion. In an online forum, it's good to keep in mind that things can be easily misunderstood, so it's best to assume everyone has the best intentions and avoid judging and taking offense. That allows us all to remain professional and respectful of each other. I'm used to spirited debates - I'm sorry if you found that to be too strong. You are welcome to ask me questions on any of my posts, and if I'm not sure about something you say, I'll simply ask you and we'll have a good, open discussion.

Yes, definitely, you and I have the same goals: helping massage therapists avoid injury. As I mentioned, I'm looking forward to reading your book. You and I were both injured doing massage, so we have that experience in common, too (unfortunately), and both used the experience to try to help others. Perhaps we'll meet at the AMTA National Conference? If you're attending, please come to my Teacher Track presentation or look me up during the conference. Take care, and best wishes for your new book.

You are on your way to the top!

Cool name and picture!

Hi Karina!

Would you please participate in a massage survey and tell your colleagues too?
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

I just noticed you in the group and was wondering how many other Brauns were Massage Therapists?

Hi Karina!

I will be attending Monday only, as I have my son with me this weekend and need to spend some quality time with him!

Feel free to give me a call at: 702.203.5670 if you'd like to get together and meet somewhere.

I'd ask for your number to call you, but the last time I did that, got a angry husband on my hands!

Thanks!

Kris

Yes, we'll get together another time ;)

Are you a member of the Las Vegas Massage Meetup Group? Perhaps we can meet with them.
