| soap note massage therapy: Massage Therapy in Crisis Lonnie T. Locke LMT, 2020-11-09 This Interactive eBook with exclusive YouTube content is a look back at the massage field as I experienced it from massage school to opening a private practice. A field in crisis, this book exposes those popular Spa chains and how they really operate behind closed doors. This is my rundown on everything wrong with the massage field and what needs to be done to correct it. What do you do when business is going great and you get hit with a pandemic? I explore this coronavirus like no one else, then dig deep into human trafficking in massage. I discuss spirituality, group think versus the power of the individual and the God hole and overcoming anger. This is the book that every therapist is afraid to write because it's going to upset many people. If you enjoyed Motley Crue's The Dirt then think of this book as the Massage Therapy version of that. Massage Therapy in Crisis is raw, it's blunt, but It's also brutally honest. I've added mood music for certain subjects to make things interesting. Sincerely, Lonnie T. Locke LMT |
