Reflex Therapies are therapies in which specialized massage techniques are
used to stimulate the nerves of the feet and hands. These compressive
massage techniques have a healing effect upon the entire body. Nerve endings
embedded in the hands and feet connect all areas of the body through nerve
pathways or meridians. Stimulation of these nerve endings helps to promote
relaxation, stimulate vital organs and encourages the natural healing
processes of the body. In the class we will explore some of the most common
techniques used today.

Dear Massage Therapists & Friends of Massage Therapy:
Even though I, along with several organizations, testified against HB 3094
by Representative Harless on March 30th before the House County Affairs
committee, it has reported favorably and is about to be sent to the
House for a vote. This bill equates "massage parlors" to Massage
Establishments, by defining a massage parlor as a massage establishment
that allows: a nude or partially nude employee to provide massage or
other massage services to a customer; any individual to engage in
sexual contact in
the massage establishment; any individual to practice massage therapy
in the nude or in clothing designed to arouse or gratify the sexual
desire of any individual. This bill gives the authority to "certain
counties with a population of
3.3 million or more" to assess penalties (without being specific, this
mainly applies to Harris County in the
Houston area). Why should we be troubled by this bill? The
legitimate massage therapists in the state of Texas have been trying to
distance themselves from any link to prostitution, and this bill
blatantly defines a "massage parlor" as a massage establishment that is
breaking the current law. We believe that there is no need to make
this comparison, since what they are stating in HB3094 is already
illegal. To make matters worse, the companion bills, SB 1980 by Senator Dan Patrick and HB 2838
by Representative Riddle are identical and will be heard in the
committees they've been referred to. SB1980 has been referred to the
Senate Criminal Justice Committee, and HB2838 has been referred to the
House County Affairs Committee (the same committee that passed
HB3094). If you would like to read the text on these bills, just click
on the bill number that is underscored or highlighted in purple in this email. What can you do about this predicament? You can contact
your Representative and let them know that you are against this bill.
Let them know that you do not want to be associated with sexually
oriented businesses. This is the link to find out who your representative is: http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/.
When
you get to that page, insert your zip code, then scroll down to
your STATE Representative and Senator. If you click on the underscored
link of the representative's name, you will be taken to their home page
where you can get a fax number or email them directly. Of course a
telephone call is also great! Here is a sample of what I sent to my
representative...of course you need to personalize it with your
information! Keep it simple.
Dear Rep. Maldonado: HB3094
relating to the regulation of massage parlors by certain counties;
providing penalties will be coming up for a vote. As a massage
therapist in Texas for over 25 years, and a massage establishment owner
in NW Austin, I am offended by the equating of "massage parlors" to
legitimate massage establishments in this bill. There are already
plenty of laws to penalize prostitution on the books without using our
Occupations Code 455 to deal with the problem. Massage Establishments
are NOT sexually oriented businesses! Please VOTE NO on HB3094.
Sincerely, Janine Ray, LMT#0924
Let your colleagues know how important this message is....please
forward! Also, you don't have to be a massage therapists to complain
about this bill. Let your clients contact their representatives also.
Blessings,
Janine Ray, LMT, MTI, PDMT

Texas Association of Massage Therapists www.texasmassagetherapists.com
On Monday, March 30th, 2009, the "County Affairs " Committee of the
Texas House of Representatives will be hearing testimony from the
public in regards to HB 3094 and its companion bill HB 283 "Relating to the regulation of massage parlors by certain counties; providing penalties."
If you click on the highlighted or underscored bill numbers you should
be able to get to the Texas Legislature On Line website to read the
text of the bills. There is also a identical bill referred to the "Criminal Justice" Committee of the Senate: SB 1980 My
concerns are that these bills are defining "massage parlors" as Massage
Establishments. Because of my discussions with the Representatives and
Senators, they have downsized their jurisdiction from State law to
local government code. Although the legislators are targeting County
Government Codes, they are still equating "massage parlors" with
legitimate Massage Establishments and using our Occupations Code to try
to regulate prostitution in the unincorporated areas of Texas.
This law would give local governments more access to the "massage
parlors", but at the same time has the potential to affect legitimate
massage practices that are not in compliance with the law. Ordinarily
I wouldn't have a problem with penalties imposed on Licensed Massage
Therapists or Establishments who were not in compliance with the law,
but I know for a fact that there are well meaning therapists who are
practicing in a group without "Establishment" licenses. There is
potential for fines of $1000.00 a day if those persons are not in
compliance with the law. These lawmakers are targeting the "bad
actors" who are sexualizing massage therapy, and the law reads:
Sec. 234.106. CRIMINAL
PENALTY. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally or
knowingly operates a massage parlor in violation of a prohibition or regulation
adopted under this subchapter by the commissioners court.
(b) An
offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
If
you
are concerned about any language in the law defining a massage
parlor as a massage establishment, then I recommend that you contact
the members of the committee and your Representative and Senator to
make a statement. If you would like to testify at the capital, that
would also be great. Below is the contact information for the County
Affairs committee. You could also contact the authors of these bills:
Rep. Riddle, Rep. Harless and Senator Patrick.
This is a Call to Action!

Dear Massage Therapy Community: I have been talking with
representatives and senators at the capital in regards to ME
legislation, and I'd like to get your opinion on some of the topics
below. So far we (TAMT) has made headway in getting rid of the
inclusion of language relating to sexually transmitted diseases. We
have clarified the documentation that is already necessary for ME
compliance in the rules and regulations, as well as the fact that DSHS
already does criminal background checks on LMTs, and the ME's have to
submit lists of LMTs and employees info with updating changes as they
happen. Accross Texas there are city ordinances that restrict the
hours of ME's (many have not been enforced), and the state is trying to
deal with the prostitution that has moved into the unincorporated areas
where there is no jurisdiction. Any group of 2 or more therapists
practicing in a location where they share a common space needs to
become licensed. Spas, health clubs, retreat centers, etc. are
supposed to comply (unless they are excluded). Keeping in mind that
there is a difference between an individual therapist or solo
practitioner and a massage establishment, please take a minute to
answer these questions:
Do you know of any Massage Establishments that keep hours before 6 am and after 10 pm?
If so, why are they open those hours?
If for legitimate reasons, should they be able to receive an exclusion from hours restrictions.
Do you know of any massage establishments that have sleeping quarters and massage in the same room?
The law currently states that peace officers may enter a massage establishment at any time during business hours with reasonable cause. Do you personally know of any "establishment" that would have or has had a problem with that?
Since the changes in HB2644 last session included the language "any service with a purported health benefit that involves touch for compensation", would you like to see clarification on that topic to include words like "bodywork" in the definition of massage therapy?
Thanks for answering! Janine Ray, LMT, ME Owner, MTI and CE Provider Legislative Chair Texas Association of Massage Therapists

I wanted to see if I could get your quick help. I'm not sure if you've heard, but there's a movement of citizens inspired by the presidential campaign who are now submitting ideas for how they think the Obama Administration should change America. It's called "Ideas for Change in America."
I've submitted an idea and wanted to see if you could quickly vote for it. The title is: Therapeutic Massage Service Corps/Touch Care for All. You can read and vote for the idea by clicking on the following link:
The top 10 ideas are going to be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day and will be supported by a national lobbying campaign run by Change.org, MySpace, and more than a dozen leading nonprofits after the Inauguration. So each idea has a real chance at becoming policy. In brief, my idea is:
An initiative to fund skilled appropriate touch in all aspects of health care: preventative, skilled care(pre/post natal,homeless, infants,children, teens, orthopedic, psych., geriatric, diabetic, alzheimers, parkinson's) palliative, end-of-life care, survivor care. trauma, cancer, cardiac...every need addressed every burden of care level, every facility and new programs to help the aged.
Did you know that years ago nurses gave their pt's. a massage every day? first with alcohol then with lotion? ask an old nurse they'll tell you it eased the pt's suffering and they required less drugs.
That sort of therapeutic touch is absent in most care facilities today. Nurses don't have time, Medicare doesn't allow therapist's the time, insurance won't pay usually.
Where do you get the benefit of appropriate massage care? Maybe when you get into hospice, if there is a massage volunteer, or maybe not ever...help millions of suffering elderly receive regular skilled touch with well trained massage therapists. Then let's partner with schools and facilities to begin simple hand or foot massage training to help the burgeoning population of diabetic conditions in our nation. The research is there that says massage helps all conditions by reducing the seat of disease, stress. Now is the time to wrestle back quality in healthcare, not status quo Medi-crap. Down with drugs, up with touch!

Here's what some say regarding this Hands-on seminar:
"I am a massage therapist and take a lot of continuing education
courses as a requirement for my license. The C.A.R.E. Program is the
best I have taken. I learned so much about how and why the oils work
and now I understand the science behind it. I am glad to have a
standard protocol for raindrop. I have been doing raindrop for over a
year, but never felt sure of my work. What a difference a weekend
makes. With this protocol I felt nurtured and cared for."
