  Juan G. asked:

  Thanks for the add! Not sure if this is appropriate (if not please feel free to delete) but can anyone recommend an honest contractor who can "curb cut" my driveway?

  

  Elizabeth S. replied:

  Just a little advice: check out the contractor's license of anyone you are considering online. You will find out if their license is current and if they have committed any violations. http://www.rld.state.nm.us/

  Edwin L. asked:

  Good morning! Hi! So im trying to start my own business, do my own thing, and i have no idea where or how of anything. Does anyone know of any books? Have any suggestions? I already have my table, candles, music, i need a place but i dont know what else..

  

  Diana S. replied:

  Edwin Vega Lmt Ncbtmb, 2 things, 1- It helps that your post shows you are in PA. Considering PA has fairly recently instituted licensure, I doubt the startup requirements are as stringent as Florida's, you should look them up. 2- NCBTMB implies you are on the board (first B). NCTMB conveys you are Nationally Certified, a designation that is no longer relevant or available. If you have become Board Certified through NCBTMB, that's a different thing altogether (many threads here on that, search or check the NCBTMB.org for details.) While clients may not know the difference, those who do will be more impressed if you represent yourself appropriately. edited for grammar.

  Equine J. asked:

  Can we help a girl out? "I tend to experience acute lower back pain when I ride. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?"

  

  Saskia S. replied:

  Go to a doctor, but if it's all clear please find a reputable massage therapist. Sounds to me like your Psoas muscle. I had stabbing low back pain just the other day and when I went to pt today I asked him to work on those muscles. World of difference. I'm an mt too, if that carries any weight. Check out http://www.ncbtmb.org/ You can find massage therapists there. Look for neuromuscular therapists under the consumer tab.

  Lyndsey F. asked:

  As a massage student, who will be working in a chiropractic clinic, I have only learned the very basics of deep tissue massage, I am very concerned about the clientele that I will be building...I have struggled in the Kinesiology portion of my learning and am almost positive that majority of the people I will be seeing will be looking for more than a Swedish massage and I know that that knowledge will be important for more therapeutic work...what does everyone recommend the best CE courses to be for a fresh therapist whom is looking for more advanced skills?!

  

  Toni L. replied:

  AMTA has a class schedule, and NCBTMB.org has a list of approved providers, if your state recognizes their credits. Reading is also valuable. Review your school books regularly. There are some excellent anatomy books. I'm fond of Clemente, and good cadaver photo book is especially useful. If you learn your anatomy and precautions well, you can more easily learn your techniques and apply theories. If you refrain from innovating until you have the set routines down pat, your innovations will be more effective.

  Rachel D. asked:

  Massage therapist friends, I am taking my NCBTMB on the 29th. Anyone have recommendations for the best cheap or affordable online practice tests??

  

  Dawna R. replied:

  I used the practice tests at ncbtmb.org, but that was before they were re-done. I was more impressed with this book for review:

  Mary S. asked:

  I have a question for any of the local folks that are in Carlton, Mac, or Newberg.....have you used a LMT or Massage Therapist in the area and if so can you recommend them? I need someone local for Tim who is having some issues with his back and it would be better for him to go to someone closer than farther away. If you have recommendations you can private message me! Thank you!

  

  Toni H. replied:
