so number one is each state and country has its own rules and regulations so make sure that you
stay current and up to date as what is required by your State uh know when to ethically refer your
client to another therapist or when you need to refer to a doctor or physiotherapist that's very
important it's very important for you to be aware of that that you might need to refer sometimes
out be flexible is another chapter you know be flexible don't wait until you burn out before
you take a break be punctual oh my gosh this I can't emphasize that enough that that that's

stay within your scope of practice never stop learning that's one of my favorites you know
I've that's one of the things that I think is beneficial to me I've never stopped learning and
it could be something as easy as trading massages with other massage therapists because someone
always has a different technique that you might have forgotten about you don't have to spend a lot
of money you know just to to learn there's YouTube I recommend massage Therapeutics 915 on Instagram

rich off of being a massage therapist because we can only do so much so always have a side
