Changing the world, one muscle at a time…
If someone has a sore neck, they are more than likely to be irritable and less engaged in their environment.  This interferes with all of their personal interactions throughout the day, which affects others’ interactions in a great cascade moving outward from the one person with the sore neck. 

Massage Therapy is an effective tool to reduce musculoskeletal pain.  By reducing the pain, aligning the mind and body, and allowing the person’s life force to return to the helm, a qualified Massage Therapist can affect all of that person’s interactions and the subsequent interactions of those interactions in another cascade… this one spun in the positive direction. 
It comes down to feedback loops: self feeding patterns… positive or negative. 

Thus, on a very real and measurable level, Massage Therapy does change the world, one muscle at a time.
