LMAO That is exactly what I was about to post! Whether or not the verbiage is "legally" changed, it will never change the fact that clients will EXPECT massage in their mani's and pedi's.
Personally, I wonder why massage therapists are feeling threatened by it.. ???? I know I am in NO way interested in doing massage therapy or even implying anything remotely close! I had a client ask me once to massage all the way up his arm! Haha! I told him I am only licensed up to the elbow and the knee ... beyond that point, it becomes "massage therapy!" I do not think the verbiage should be changed... because.. it's a little "nit picky" in my opinion.. but... shrugs... whatevah..... Melody Montgomery PS. No insults were implied in this email; please do not crucify me for my opinion!

We also learn the muscles and bones. We learn different types of massage- it is how we implement it that makes for what constitutes a good massage. I have been to a few massage therapists and I can tell you that my massage is much better. So, whatever they learned was not that wonderful. I think we should be allowed to do MASSAGE!!! Keep the wording. I can see it now: MT's do massage while nail techs "rub skin." JMHO!
