The Shocking Truth About Widespread Injuries To Massage Therapists - by Stephen Williamson: "English Massage Therapist Saves Careers
In a recent survey conducted by English Massage therapist and trainer Gerry Pyves, a startling statistic was revealed:
'88% of Massage Practitioners who have been practising for more than two years and massage 5 or more clients a week indicated that they could be suffering from injury.'
Even more worrying to the Massage profession was the finding that:
'98% of Massage Therapists who have been practising for 10 years or more and massage 10 or more clients a week indicated that they could be suffering from injury.'
Gerry was prompted to create this survey after his own Massage career nearly came to a premature end when he sustained severe hand and wrists injuries caused through Massaging his clients. These injuries led him to create an alternative form of Massage known as NO HANDS® Massage that does not rely on the hands and wrists to create deep invigorating massage strokes. This saved his Massage career, after which he began to teach what he had discovered to other bodyworkers so that they never had to endure the type of injuries that could prematurely end their Massage career."
