1      Introduction

1.1   Your Help Is Needed

1.1.1       Please help me with some research that will take you a relatively small amount of your time and provide our profession with lots of data to counterweight to the notion that massage treatment is palliative without curative value. I’ve included some links below to help explain the project. Your help is much appreciated. If you know of someone else who would be interested in these projects. Tell A Friend
