If you've entered into the realm of massage and bodywork, you have probably realized by now that there are many different styles and techniques you can choose from, learn about and focus in. Each one has uniques and distinct advantages and can help in a variety of circumstances. No doubt when you tell people what you do and you say something other than "Massage" or "I'm a bodywork professional" you get a variation of responses that can be summed up with 'so what exactly do you do?'. And while they might not completely understand if you explain it to them I have have good news for you: WE DO!! This community right here is built for people just like you who love to learn and want their knowledge and skills to be appreciated. So let's build something great together and support each other in our differences. Go team!

What has been the most valuable resource to you and why? Or what resource would you recommend to someone trying to learn or improve? I've made the realization recently that not everyone uses the same resources in their learning journey.🤦‍♀️ Duh. Not my brightest moment I know. 💡But I also realized that this provides an opportunity for us to work together. Share your valuable resources! Textbooks, classes, groups, research papers, etc. So far, mine is Tappan's Handbook for Massage Therapy. Such a great guide and resource. My favorite part is the detailed illustrations of the techniques taught.
