Massage Personal Statement My First, Term Paper

Every client has different needs and every client needs a unique prescription of therapeutic techniques.

Although my medical training comes different land, I believe the perspective I bring from my original background to the United States will be an asset to my work. I look forward to working with a variety of clients from different backgrounds, of all races, genders, and ages. I hope to learn from them, and also help them feel better about themselves, regardless of how they look. A good massage therapist helps her client feel better about the client's body from the inside out, and responds to the unique demands of the patient's body and lifestyle.

The past five years have given me additional maturity and greater depth and seriousness as a person in the health care field. Now that I have a child I understand better the stresses and strains upon the body having a baby and simply being a parent from day-to-day can bring.This will further help me empathize with my patients.

I have chosen to get my Associate Degree in Massage Therapy Program from the Swedish Institute for my training because it embraces the holistic perspective regarding the treatment of the body that is fundamental to my own philosophy, background, and past training in the healthcare profession. It embraces many techniques and traditions in its teachings. It will give me a sound basis in Western and Eastern traditions of massage, practical internship experience, and help me relate my previous healthcare experiences and knowledge of anatomy and physiology to my future therapeutic work. I believe that my experiences would make me an asset in the classroom and in my chosen profession. I hope to be given the opportunity to learn from my teachers and my classmate's experiences and bodies of knowledge......
