Looking For Answers In Many Places
I am sure we have all heard the old adage: "When the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail."
The Kidney Official
The Kidney is known as the Official Who Controls the Waterways. In Western medical terms, a major function of the Kidneys is to filter the blood. Every day, a person's kidneys process about 200 liters of blood to sift out about two liters of waste and excess water.
Licensed Massage Therapist: Profession or Hobby?

The Evolution of Releasing the Core Distortion
All my previous articles in Massage Today have included information about the core distortion found in the body. I want to explain how the term "core distortion" evolved and why other medical professionals have not described it in these terms.
Need a Massage? Call Your Competition for an Appointment
Who do you call when you need a massage? Many therapists schedule with someone they know from school, met at work or at a seminar.
Following the Body's Clues
There was a higher power at work when I helped Marianne. You know as a therapist when you jump right in and try to help someone and all your efforts work, but you are not entirely sure why.

The Liver belongs to Wood in Five Element Theory and is in charge of Dispersing and Expanding which means all the processing and detoxifying of harmful substances such as medications and chemicals require the efforts of the Liver.

The Existential Question and Talking the Walk
You don't need to be a psychotherapist to talk to your clients or find out why they are coming for a treatment. This is perfectly within your legal "scope of practice." By training to become a psychotherapist, I learned to say much, much less to my massage clients.
Learning the Right Way to Get Started in this Business
So many students of massage ask me, "How do I get started?" To me, it is not how to get started, it is IF you get started. You have to start where you are with a goal and start working toward it.
