Massage Therapy is both an Art and a Science. There is a long line connecting those two and therefore a wide variety of massage therapists exist, from hard-hitting medical and sports therapists to esoteric energy healers. Fortunately, the needs of individuals are just as varying.
The trick is to find the right therapist for you and your circumstances.

I have the intelligence to know I am stupid, and the arrogance to experiment. Both are key scientific values.

Goal

To express solution-oriented arguments toward a healthier self and world.

Insights

No 'system' is corrupt;
