The content presented is intended for the manual-therapy and bodywork communities (massage therapists, acupuncturists, rolfers, somatic therapists and educators, physical therapists, chiropractors, neuromuscular therapists, reiki masters, reflexologists, etc.), to promote thought and action toward readying for your return to work in a pre-vaccine era of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our intention is to offer a thought-provoking tool for practitioners. Completion of this thought experiment does not supersede any local, state, or national mandates regarding when you may resume manual therapies.
These are the essential driving questions that spawned this thought experiment:
What do I need to know?
How am I going to do this?
How do I get through this?
What do I need?
Where do I start?
