Most people are not fully aware of their slow and steady loss of flexibility. Starting around thirty something you loose flexibility at an average rate of 1% a year. With proper stretching you slow down the aging process and even grow younger by improving posture, circulation and easy pain free full range of motion.

It's this kind of baseless puffery that gives Massage Therapy a bad name. Where did you get that 1% figure? What clinical study? At what university? Who peer reviewed the study? What were the criteria for the "grow younger" claim and how were posture, circulation and pain measured? Was there inclusion or exclusion bias in the study? What was the sample size? Was that sample size sufficient to give statistical Power (P) to the study? Any physician reading your ridiculous claim would be thinking these things, and would probably decide to avoid sending patients to you and possibly all other LMTs. So that's why this nonsense matters to me.

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Scorpio

You're in a very romantic and sentimental state today. You're also feeling quite sensitive and vulnerable, so you won't want to be around anyone you find abrasive or aggressive. If you meet someone for the first time now you'll think they're wonderful and your relationship will always involve putting them on a pedestal. But don't be too idealistic. They are human, remember!
