[libribook.com] Traumatic Scar Tissue Management 1st Edition

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A thank you to the extraordinary family I have – my husband, Forrest, daughter
Daren and son Michael. Thank you for the eye rolling, the encouraging words
and allowing me the space to always try something new.
To Cathy Ryan – thanks, chica, for not letting on that I am a clinician and not a
writer. You, my friend, are exceptional at both.
Pam Fitch – see above.
To Diana Thompson for suggesting a presentation in Boston; to the wonderful
and dedicated North Florida Children’s Burn Camp volunteers at Camp Amigo
for giving a massage therapist a chance to prove massage therapy does make a
difference; to Rose Dean for her pursuit of making sure everyone she came in
contact with knew that massage therapy changed her scars and quality of life; to
Diane Garrison, Dana Ruben, Dr Annie Morien and Raquel Torres – many great
memories from Camp in holding my hand through research; heart felt thanks to
Julie Speigel for her encouragement and compassion; hugs and much
appreciation to Paul Davenport, Director and mentor from the best darn school
in the world, The Florida School of Massage.
Much admiration to the entire staff at Handspring Publishing for the
handholding, encouragement and guidance.
Thanks so much to all my wonderful clients that allowed me to ‘explore’ their
treatment protocols and to the case managers and physicians that recognized
massage therapy can be cost effective and beneficial to those with traumatic
scarring.
We’ve only just begun …
