Massage Union??

You can't have a discussion group with massage therapist without having the topic of forming a union comes up. There are many sides to this -one that probably will be never fully answered.

I for one always just think it seems like the unions are the ones who have ruined the auto industry with their demands. What would a union do for the massage profession? What really is the problem in the massage job world? I've lived a sheltered life never having to get a massage job and always… Continue

Reno Rides Again

Although the official election results have not yet been announced by the NCBTMB, the grapevine has it that Monica Reno has retained her certificant seat on the Board, and the new public member is Ronni Burns.

I’m very pleased to hear about Ms. Burns, and less than pleased to hear about Reno. As I’ve stated on a previous blog or two, she is in my opinion part of the Old Guard That Needs To Go. The NCB seems to be making some good strides forward here lately, and I think the more they… Continue

Streetlights and Shadows

I've been reading Gary Klein's new book: Streetlights and Shadows. It's a great, research-based foray into the nature of expertise exercised within the real world. It also doesn't read like an academic paper. You can learn about the pilot who managed to land the "Gimili Glider" when it ran out of jet fuel at 41,000 feet and both engines quit, shutting down the crt displays and hydraulic controls. You can also… Continue
