Considerations in choosing a massage therapist

In short: there are massage technicians, with less than 500 hrs of training (i.e. graduates of most massage schools); massage therapists, with 500-1000 hrs of training; and holistic practictioners, with more than 1000 hrs of training. Note: training and experience are two different things. Training is necessary. For example, would you want your doctor to be seeing lots of patients before going to med school enough?

The content of this post got to big and is moved to the articles. The blog started with the 200-word editorial for Hawaii Wellness Magazine, distributed as paper copies on all islands, and then got elaborated on :)

I hope you find the massage therapist that is just right for you and receive the care you need. I would be happy to answer any additional questions.
