In this episode I discuss massage therapy with my fellow licensed massage therapist Lucas Foote. Lucas has been my friend and mentor for many years and it was great to have this discussion with him about a subject we are both passionate about. We talk about the benefits of massage and therapeutic touch, how to find the right massage therapist, what to except when getting a massage, your rights as massage client/patient, and what kind of pressure you should ask for/ except during you treatment.
If you would like to reach out to Lucas for more information or book an appointment he can be found at http://footeintegrativetherapy.abmp.com/about-the-practitionerand lucasfoote@yahoo.com.
