Dear Colleagues, Clients, Students, Family, and Friends; 4/18/2004
1 Everybody
I know you are all very busy so these newsletters will be on point. I
am developing a Non-Profit Web Resource for the Massage Therapy Profession. You
can help in this effort by simply going to the site by clicking the above logo
or typing http://www.anatomyfacts.com/
into your browser. If you know of someone else who might be interested in this
site click this link Tell A Friend. Subsequent
Newsletters will be sent to remind you to CLICK and CLOSE.
Your work is done. Thank You. If you are a professional you can help further
with this site by looking at the sections below. Otherwise, your support is
registered every time you CLICK and CLOSE.
2 Problems Viewing This Page
If this E-Mail looks weird, your E-Mail program doesn’t support HTML.
You may also have problems assessing the links. You can view this newsletter
online with this link.http://www.anatomyfacts.com/muscle/news1.htm
You can copy this link and paste it into your address bar on your browser.
3 Web Site Survival
This Web Site costs money to maintain and countless hours to create
over the last two years. No I’m not asking for donations but your effort to
just simply CLICK and CLOSE
will help the site endure. If you get in the habit of coming to this site on a
regular basis in sufficient numbers costs may be offset thru advertising. I
will poll you as to the products you are interested in and create a separate
advertising page. If you buy products from this site, the money will be used to
maintain the site (hardware & software). If this doesn’t work, I’ll ask for
donations. If that doesn’t work, I close the site. I’m allowing 3 years for
this site to be self-sustaining. To check on your collective progress, use the
following link to view site statistics. http://www.anatomyfacts.com/muscle/traffic.htm
The site will have to generate significantly more hits than it currently is to
attract advertisers. That means the numbers should start going up after this
newsletter is posted on 4/18/2004 and with subsequent newsletters.
4 Pretty Picture
Click this link to see a pretty picture.
This illustration depicts the muscle origin insertion location of the forearm
anterior and posterior. This information is important to massage therapists who
want to increase circulation to irritated tendon attachments. Significant pain
reduction may result when circulation is restored.

13 Associated Professionals (Chiropractic Colleges, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Nurses, Acupuncturists M.D.s and Others)
The Massage profession is in its adolescence with all the blemishes and
awkwardness. There is a National Trend toward state licensing (35 States so
far) but California has yet to pass licensing laws. We are still governed by
Punitive Municipal Laws (Mug shot, VD Test, finger prints and other
humiliations), which seek to rid the cities of prostitutes. Help us move from
adolescence to adulthood by acting as a consultant to this Web site.
Information on volunteer staffing needs Information This is the consultant form link. Medical Consultant Form If you are
a school administrator, teacher ECT uses this form. School Consultant Form If you know
of someone else who might be interested in this site use this link to inform
him or her. Tell A Friend This does not have
to be a huge time commitment on your part because every little bit helps even
if you just CLICK and CLOSE.
14 Massage Schools and Massage Professionals
If National Trends continue and the Developmental History of other
Professions is predictive, we are moving from a Vocational Education Model
(with its greater dependence on Local Business needs) to a Professional Model
(with its adherence to National Standards which align with other
Professions)(Caveats include multitiered educational model similar to Physical
Therapy and Nursing). Popular support for insurance coverage among massage
clients who experience sustained curative relief is a likely trigger for these
changes. A few insurance companies (Blue Shield) pay claims to sole provider
massage therapists. The Chiropractic and Nursing professions speak to that
trend by example. Competitive advantage is a likely benefit to those
institutions and individuals who adapt to this trend. Please help me build this
site for our emerging profession. Further site development will be impossible
without group effort. This is very much like a barn raising, which requires
combined sweat and muscle. This is non-profit consequently, I can’t pay you.
