IMPORTANT

Massage Law Newsletter Vol 20, No.2

In 1989, AMTA initiated legal action against the Maryland state Board of Physical Therapy Examiners et al  because the Board assumed it had a legal right to regulate massage therapists. AMTA claimed that the Board's action was illegal for reasons set forth in its complaint filed on December 8, 1989. These reasons included violation of the right to commercial speech and violation of antitrust laws. Part 6 of this report presents some sections of AMTA's complaint.

We invite you to examine the evidence.

A New Paradigm For Massage Based On Subtle Energy and Quantum Science

by

Albert Schatz and Mary L. Brewster

AN INVITATION TO VISIT A NEW WORLD

We invite you to join this guided tour of a new world of massage, and learn about the reality, philosophy, and subtle energies in this new world. You don't have to leave your home, family, and friends, or pay for travel and accommodations. You don't have to learn a new language. You only have to learn about a new paradigm. If you tell your clients and massage therapists about this new world, some of them may join you there. Everybody is welcome and people may stay as long  they want.
