West Valley College Offered A Free Class For Massage Therapists

Posted January 9th, 2009 by admin No Comments »

The town Los Gatos had a new rule according to which each massage therapist must have 300 hours of documented massage coursework in 2007. Many of the therapists in the town didn’t have it, altought they were licensed therapists with a great experience.

The only problem is that many of the massaging courses were too expensive for the therapists, especially during todays’ economics. The only option for many therapists would have been to move away from the town.

That is the reason why West Valley College offered a free class to help massage therapists who have to adjust to new regulations. Total twenty massage therapists got the education that helped them to continue maintain their businesses. Funding for the classes was provided by the California Community College Chancellor’s Office.

Police Criticised for Spending Money On Massage

Posted January 1st, 2009 by admin No Comments »

The police in Sussex, UK, has been receiving criticism since it made the decision to spend thousands of pounds for massage services for the staff working at the call centre. The Sussex Police has about four hundred employees at its call centres.

The police force says the massage relieves stress and it has been used since the year 2005. The old three-year contract was coming to end and the department took a new contract worth of ten thousand British pounds.

Although the amount of money used for massage services sounds high, it may be worth it, since the employees will be more relaxed and alert doing their job. At least the Sussex police has a strong confidence on the effects of massage.
