A Quote by Clair Davies
Only massage therapists seemed to be informed about trigger points and referred pain, and only exceptional individuals among them (in my own experience at least) were treating trigger points effectively. What's more, the burgeoning variety of unproven modalities offered by massage therpaists gave the profession such an aura of flakiness that the elegant science of myofascial pain got unfairly confused with treatments whose results could easily be attributed to the placebo effect.

Most of those who haven't yet received a massage simply haven't felt a need for it
Massage therapists, and others in the holistic arts ... seem to be a particularly gullible bunch.

I look at how we got beat and I thought the hustle points and the energy points were all gauged through offensive rebounds.
