I am ABMP. BACKGROUND: My father introduced me to massage when I was a small boy. I was on my way to law school in 1976 when I came across a massage school ad and I've been doing massage ever since. Since the early nineties, I've been lobbying for implementation of a comprehensive massage law in Puerto Rico that will really raise the bar. Finally, it seems close to reality. PERSPECTIVE: After more than thirty years and almost thirty thousand massages, I have developed what I call my own style. It is eclectic –the product of the different schools, techniques, and protocols I have studied. BUSINESS GROWTH: Word of mouth has been the major factor in growing my client base. Being always ready and available at the same place over the years has also helped. ABMP AND ME: I feel very much at home with ABMP. I appreciate how they backed my group with information and logistic support in our legislative endeavors. Their Internet tools are also very helpful. LAST WORD: Massage therapy can stand toe-to-toe with any other healthcare profession, conventional or alternative. The sky's the limit. Miguel D. Hudo Ricci, San Juan, Puerto Rico. Member since 1997.
