CLIENT EDUCATION EQUALS FULL SCHEDULES Consumer surveys tell us that massage and bodywork clients don't always understand the lasting benefi ts of the work they receive from you. But when it's explained to them, in their terms, repeatedly, the value of your work takes on a whole new importance. This was a primary reason ABMP created Body Sense magazine—a free, digital consumer education publication that keeps talking to your clients long after they've left your treatment room.
