Wow, as I am writing this blog entry I find myself stepping up and taking the reigns in the local chapter as Treasurer of the Flagler/Volusia Chapter of the FSMTA. I just finished the training at the state level at the States Quarterly Meeting in Orlando at the Hilton in the convention center area. Very enlightening meeting on how to see the state board in action. I meet a wonderful group of people that are involved at the state level with the FSMTA and from all the 19 chapters throughout the state of Florida.
Each chapter in the state is unqiue and ours is no exception. Lots of great things are on the horizon from information on the Board of Massage and Continuing education credits to the yearly State Convention in July. I spent two days covering all the things that a treasurer should know at the local chapter level to conducting business on the state level. Boy, let me tell you there is a lot of information to take in a very short amount of time.
Our next local chapter meeting in Feb will be for nomination of awards for people that exemplified and excelled at service to the FSMTA. We look forward to seeing who wins in a run off of nominations. Our next meeting CEU provider is covering MLD which should also be exciting.

Stress and pain patterns go hand in hand. They can also lead to more severe medical issues if not treated or ignored by the patient. Both conditions are affected by the nervous and endocrine system and massage therapy can treat both for relief. Stress is one of the largest killers in American society we all have stress in one form or another, yet most Americans don’t bother to treat themselves or really learn how to relax to assist in a reduction or pain and stress.
Massage therapy to the rescue!!
Massage therapy can not only reduce the amount of pain your in but can also assist in lowering blood pressure. The body can only take so much stress and pain until the recovery system cannot keep up. Which can lead to chronic pain and stress, from there organs and nerve damage can occur.
Pay the piper now or you will pay the piper later as I tell my patients. You should spend a little money now so that you don’t have to spend tons later when you end up in hospital recovering from major surgery. Preventative maintenance can go a long way for keeping your body in check.

There is a new twist to swedish and deep tissue massage, it’s hot bamboo massage. So far my experience with hot bamboo massage has been very favorable. My clients like it very much and it allows me to work better and more efficiently. It allows me to do more with less effort and still give a very customized massage for my individual clients. My clients response has been tremendous. The use of hot bamboo tools allows me to provide a more consistent pressure over both large and small areas with more control. Utilizing this type of massage will allow me to stay in this business for many years.
