    Glad to meet you Mike, I've been an RN in Critical care for 12 yrs, have always used massage for my pain control and relaxtion. I think this will be good for my pt's, and coworkers but mainly my mother who has MS, Fibromyalgia, RA and DJD and other things that I know massage will benefit, i grad in December. If you have any tips for working with people who have fibromyalgia I would be very greatful thanks again Mike

    Hi Mike

    I was looking for information on the WMF. It looked like it would be fun. Do the CEU's count for Illinois if I am out of state? I probably should this but I am not sure.

    When you get a chance, thought this might be of interest as well. Research on whiplash.

    me of our colleagues are presently working on studies looking into MVA survivors using ultrasound and due to recent improvements in technology are finding that there's a "connective tissue proliferation" on side that received the impact,
    so there's a real measurable thickening of connective tissue layers that can be observed on the side of impact,
    these studies are right now in different stages and it will be a few years until/if they get published, but for what it is worth, no, it is not in your head it is real...and although there might be a memory, there probably is also a microscopical but real physical change
    all research is in rather early stages
    http://www.fasciacongress.org/2009/abstracts.htm
    researchers around the world are still working on animal models and cadaver tissue and it will be a while until we have capability and proposed models for research in vivo...

    I live  in Karnes County, a small rural area in South central Texas. I'm used to driving up to 4-5 hours for classes.  Ideally, Houston, Ft. Worth, Corpus, even the Lubbock/Amarillo area.  I have a cousin in Moore, OK, so I wouldn't mind taking a class in that area either.

  • Bonnie Bergara

    I really appreciate your help.  Just knowing to  look in Houston narrows down my search and saves me tiime.

    Mike, I am planning to learn a lot from you.  Do you remember when you first graduated and were out there trying to build a practice?  What was the number one and two things you did?

    Hi Mike, Thanks for the words of encouragement. This has been a very interesting year. I am really looking forward to getting out there and helping people.

    Mike,

    I am getting ready to graduate and have a couple of questions that I hope you or someone can answer. I asked my instructor but she was not clear on the answer. My questions are:

    The national boards test gives you a pass or fail when you are done. But what percentage do you need to pass? My instructor said you need a score of 300, if so how do they figure that? My instructor did not know.

    Yea I think as far as Massage Therapists go...I'm on the edge of the bell curve.  Most of these people in here think differently then I do?  lol....I'm not quite sure what that means?
