  1. There is no such thing really as a medical massage career since medical massage is not defined by the massage profession.

    There has been no professional research done on whether working with insurance companies would help or hurt the massage profession.

    If you want to become a massage therapist so that you can bill insurance companies - only WA and FL allow you to do that and I am here in WA and it basically is a nightmare.  Ins. companies are constantly reducing the amount they will pay, limiting benefits and even saying that they will pay and then later changing their minds and TAKING THE MONEY BACK!  Yes that is true- that is why I was yelling!

    If you just want to be able to work with injuries and pain - well that's what most massage therapists do.  You don't need to specialize in medical massage.  The idea that medical massage is a specific technique that is needed is one of the big problems in the profession.


  2. good but why not be a doctor ?
