Dear Colleagues,

Right now the economy is a big issue on all Americans’ minds, and massage therapists are no exception. Soaring food and energy prices have everyone concerned, and people are conserving funds by cutting back on unnecessary expenses. Before we let that panicky feeling derived from our own belief that massage may be on the list of discontinued spending when the belt gets tightened drag us down into negative thinking, let’s explore a few options.

Among the massage therapists I speak with, there are only a few that work even part-time in doctor’s offi ces, physical therapy offi ces, or clinics, or that accept health insurance in lieu of direct payment from clients. Perhaps this is a time when we need to be fi nding ways to work more harmoniously with the health care system. This could place us in a good position to be part of changes in the current healthcare system that, due to necessity, will be coming in the next decade. Right now, doctors don’t refer clients to us because we don’t ask them to, they don’t know enough about our work, and we don’t accept health insurance payments- all reasons easily remedied.

I have also observed that sometimes we really don’t hear our clients fully when they tell us how much we have helped them with the physical problems they have faced. When clients tell you how much they value your work, remember that we spend money on those things we value the most.

Looking at the Spa industry, we have an opportunity to capitalize on aging baby boomers, who are just about now waking up to the fact that looking good requires an investment in either massage and spa services, or big-bucks elective surgery. With a little good PR, we should be able to help them make that choice in our favor. The decision between buying yet another fashionable outfi t or a visit to the spa could be an easy choice when you look in the mirror, and realize your face and body are worn with every outfi t in your closet.

As entrepreneurs, we are in the enviable position of never being laid off or fi red (except of course by our clients!) Even if we are employed in a spa, the fact is the clients are ours, and should we be asked to leave, a certain percentage of clients will fi nd us and continue to pay for our services. An appreciation of this advantage and a genuine enjoyment of the measure of freedom it provides us is also, perhaps, one reason why massage has not found an established place in the medical arena- we are wary of losing our freedom.

As entrepreneurs, we are also responsible for our own success or failure. Finding ways to stay positive about the fi nancial status of your massage practice is imperative. Worry, cynicism, and negative thinking will only spiral down into poverty consciousness. What does poverty consciousness create? More poverty! Prosperity consciousness is based on the belief that abundance is the most natural state in the world. What you have an abundance of is dependent on your focus. To create new levels of success in your business, utilize the three components of physical manifestation: desire, imagination, and expectation. Imagine the standard of living you desire, build that dream, and expect it to come to you. Let go of the worries, and face the challenge of being open to imaginative ways of achieving that dream. Trust the fl ow of the universe to support you by presenting you with an abundance of ideas and opportunities that will lead to your success in your career.

Wishing you prosperity and success,

Nancy Toner Weinberger, Publisher

Kinesio-Massage® CoursesBetter Understanding, Better Results

Advanced Alternatives for Pain and RehabilitationThese classes will take you beyond what many traditional courses cover. Massage therapists who work with orthopedic pain, as well as athletes, and the trainers that work with them, will greatly benefit by learning Kinesio-Massage®.

Kinesio-Massage I: Equipping the Therapist• Learn how each individual bodytype, called a somatotype, works structurally, muscularly and neurologically and how it responds to adversity including gravity, muscle imbalance, and pain. • Learn Orthopedic massage modalities to address the conditions exhibited.8 CE Hours • $125.00 Dates: August 23 (Roanoke) • September 20 • November 15 • February 7 2009 “Awesome information and a wonderful tool to change dysfunction into function.”–Tammy Rhodes, CMT

Kinesio-Massage II: Now That’s Therapy! • Using basic laws and principles of kinesiology, movement behavior and somatotyping, learn how to accurately analyze and assess the body for the true source of one’s orthopedic pain condition, factoring in crucial data often omitted in other treatment methods. • Learn a selection of orthopedic massage techniques to effectively treat individual client’s conditions.12 CE Hours • $179.00Dates: July 12 & 13 • Jan 10 & 11 2009

“What a fantastic class! I really enjoyed your caring attitude and humor.” —Charlsie Baer, CMT

Kinesio-Massage III: Ready For Action• Understand the underlying causes and pathology involved with common and complicated pain conditions of the entire body, factors to consider during analysis and assessment, as well as how to develop the most effective protocol to treat the condition. • The student will learn selected orthopedic massage modalities and expertly match the modality to the body type and condition. The results are outstanding.24 CE Hours • $349.00Dates: October 18-20 • March 13-15 2009

“The class was amazing, informative, great fun and interesting.” —Corrie Green, CMT

Classes can be taken in any order. However, I or II is helpful prior to III.

SEMINAR LOCATION: VMRC Wellness Center1481 Virginia Ave., Harrisonburg, VA 22802

Developer and Instructor: Glenn Hakey

I am pleased to recommend Glenn Hakey and Kinesio-Massage for your healthcare. He is an orthopedic manual therapist with particular effectiveness in rehabilitation and musculoskeletal problems. I have long experience with him as a colleague and a friend. He has unique gifts which have

made him highly effective in treating the many patients I have referred to him. His knowledge of the complex musculoskeletal interrelationships resulting in acute and chronic pain, his ability to set up straightforward and patient-friendly treatment programs, his ability to motivate patients in their own stretch/strengthening programs, all these have made him a valuable resource in the management of difficult acute and chronic injuries and pain conditions. Glenn and Kinesio-Massage have saved his clients a lot of money otherwise spent on drugs, surgeries and other procedures. He is particularly effective with necks, shoulders, backs, hips and knees. I would encourage you to include Kinesio-Massage as part of your practice.

Sincerely, Dr. John T. Glick, M.D. Board of Directors, (Patch Adams) Gesundheit! Institute
