ReviewsDonna Kenny, Donna Kenny --"Ms. Walton gives helpful, easy to understand information which is helpful to the Massage Therapy student. As helpful as this information is to the MT student, I feel it is invaluable to the novice Massage Therapy practitioner. Once a student graduates, he/she will lose the 'security blanket' of the instructor's guidance. This book, especially the Decision Trees and [Interview Questions], help the new practitioner make an educated, well thought out decision."Donna Kenny, Lisa Mertz, Lisa Mertz --"I continue to anticipate the publication of this text so I can use it in my clinical courses....I am looking forward to using this book!"-Lisa Mertz
