POWIP Piece of Work In Progress – Former Abode of Dan Collins

From the ABMP

This is an excerpt of an email I got from one of the massage organizations I belong to, Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals:

"It would have been difficult to miss the recent news stories about a massage therapist in Oregon making accusations against a former U.S. vice president. Coverage that reflects badly on massage therapy is an unfortunately familiar occurrence, even though we as a profession have come a long way in educating consumers and the media about your outstanding contributions to health and wellness.

While Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) has strongly worked for change and education with the media and consumers, we are taking a slightly different tack with ABC’s program “The View,” which recently featured several co-hosts, including a comedian, discussing the current story with a fair amount of sarcasm and innuendo about the role of the massage therapist.

We are choosing this particular event as an opportunity to continue educating the media and consumers about what constitutes legitimate, therapeutic massage—your work, your accomplishments, and your ethical conduct.

We have extended an invitation to the producers and co-hosts of ABC’s “The View” for a complimentary, one-hour massage, courtesy of ABMP, so they can experience for themselves how healing and relaxing therapeutic massage can be. We believe this approach could go a long way in educating, rather than shooting, the messenger.

All of us can participate in this opportunity to educate the public about what massage therapy is—and isn’t."

As I read this, I had a couple thoughts:

-Nothing like rewarding bad behavior with free massages.

-I didn't know anyone actually watched The View.
