‘88% of Therapeutic massage Practitioners who’ve been practising for greater than two years and therapeutic massage 5 or extra purchasers per week indicated that they might be affected by harm.’
Much more worrying to the Therapeutic massage occupation was the discovering that:
‘98% of Therapeutic massage Therapists who’ve been practising for 10 years or extra and therapeutic massage 10 or extra purchasers per week indicated that they might be affected by harm.’
Gerry was prompted to create this survey after his personal Therapeutic massage profession almost got here to a untimely finish when he sustained extreme hand and wrists accidents brought on by means of Massaging his purchasers. These accidents led him to create an alternate type of Therapeutic massage referred to as NO HANDS® Therapeutic massage that doesn’t depend on the palms and wrists to create deep invigorating therapeutic massage strokes.

As a way to alert the Therapeutic massage occupation to the hazards they face and methods to save their careers, Gerry has written the ebook ‘Defend Your Therapeutic massage Profession’.
