Introduction

Welcome to Massage Therapy Now!!

The purpose of this blog is to educate and inform readers about Massage Therapy. Each article will attempt to explain and expose one of many facets of this growing field; including such topics as common ailments and injuries, Sports Medicine, Therapeutic Massage, lesser known modalities, health benefits, ethics and professionalism, relaxation, stress management, anatomy and physiology, and many more. Hopefully, it will answer many questions people might have, dispell myths, releive fears, and instill confidence in readers that massage therapy is not just a luxury, but a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle and a pivotal element in modern medicine.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kevin Kehler and I have been practicing massage therapy for over seven years in myriad capacities. I am Licensed in Hawaii and New Jersey*, am nationally certified, am a member in good standing with the International Massage Association, I hold a bachelors degree from The College of New Jersey, and am currently working toward a Masters Degree. Since graduating from one of the top massage schools in the country, I have had the opportunity to work with NCAA Sports (including “Big 10” teams), chiropractic and alternative medicine centers, gyms and fitness facilities, world class spas, as well as private homes and estates. With each opportunity I have strived to provide my clients and employers the highest quality therapy and service.

It is my sincere hope that you not only leave here informed and with some of your questions answered, but that you enjoy reading and feel comfortable leaving feedback, comments, or further questions that I may answer for you either personally or with a follow-up article. I look forward to hearing from you!

Yours in Health,

Kevin Kehler
