The Importance of Not Being a Hypocritical Therapist

I can't begin to tell you the number of times my client has asked me, "How often do you get massages?". There was a time when I lied. I won't admit it. It might have been 4 months since I had a massage, and I would say 1 month to save face. The moral of the story is that you can't, as a therapist, tell your client to come in once a month or once every two weeks, and not do it yourself. That's because you know better. You know how much massage can prolong your profession and your life. If you can't pay a therapist, trade. There is no excuse because there is always a therapist who will trade-ALWAYS. So when give your clients good advice, try taking some of it as well, ok?
