Law already outlines Personal Interactions and that clients have the right <br />to expect courteous treatment, free from verbal, physical, or sexual abuse. <br />Is it fiscally responsible for the city to be burdened with the expenses of <br />this when it is already provided for on the state side? <br />While yes, this would get away from the education requirements for <br />therapists, it opens up the field for a wide variety of very talented <br />therapists that have focused on specific techniques, or have learned <br />massage as an apprenticeship, which is very common in other countries, <br />and is inclusive and respectful to immigrants and lower income individuals. <br />Another example, Thai Yoga Massage/Bodywork can be taught in as little <br />as 33 hours, or some very extensive programs are 300-hours. These types <br />of decisions should honestly be up to each individual business on who they <br />would like to employee, as well as the consumer in what services they feel <br />is best for them. <br />Additionally, this gets the city out of attempting to regulate something it <br />clearly has little understanding of and is amazingly complex. For example, <br />up until the last set of public statements on this, rehabilitation wasn’t even <br />included as a purpose for massage. These are some of the reasons why <br />the State Law is so broad. <br />In conclusion, yes – regulate the business side of massage, though <br />incorporate things to actually meet the end goal, and get rid of regulating <br />the nuances of massage and Complementary and Alternative Medicine. <br />Thank you for your time. <br />Make it a GREAT Day, <br />SchaOn Blodgett, CCP, BTAT, he/him <br />Traditional Naturopath • Complementary & Alternative Medicine Professional under MN <br />Statute 146a <br />Psinergy Natural Health & Holistic Wellness | Helping you access your <br />Awesomeness...
