RE: Licensed massage therapists
Date: June 2, 2009Let me state this as clearly and simply as possible: If you are not a licensed massage therapist, you have no business providing massages to young athletes at any time or location.

It is not a part of coaching. Please take heed and govern yourself accordingly.
