Author Stephen McEvoy provides a wealth of information for anyone considering a massage career. Topics covered include the rich history of therapeutic massage, choosing a massage school, licensing and regulatory issues, professional organizations and membership benefits, a wide range of business considerations, the various massage modalities and styles, and a whole lot more. McEvoy even shares some humorous events, as well as some tough lessons and learning experiences that many practitioners keep to themselves.
