Concise and easy to follow intro

- N. Fries, NCTMB

It was an eye opener. Knowledge is very important and we as massage therapist need to gain as much as we can so we can be of real benefit to our clients. If we are not trained in certain techniques for certain populations we need to gain the training or hopefully refer the client to someone that is capable to meet their needs.
