Although, I'm certain I can find a better way to throw away money.<br /><br />ADK: Ugh - us truckers could definitely use a massage! My friend Marlaian (above) goes on a "wellness tour" every year to Asia and when they are there (usually for 6 weeks), the massages are so cheap, they're getting several weekly! I'm so jealous! But it's true about the stereotype of LMTs - and I don't think that thought is exclusive to our industry, but it's certainly what people think when they see the signs. I wish we had some legitimate places for people to go. I say if they were actually IN the truckstops, like they have other businesses (barbers, dentists, etc.) set up, it might go over better.<br /><br />METRO: LOVE the Three Great Truths of Religion.

I did the long haul for a number of years and felt the same way.<br /><br />It was in Mississippi I heard the line about the Three Great Truths of Religion:<br /><br />"Jews don't recognize the Messiah.<br />Protestants don't recognize the Pope.<br />Baptists don't recognize one another in a liquor store."<br /><br />~Metro<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-64130012645594208162013-03-14T10:41:00.663-03:002013-03-14T10:41:00.663-03:00Great post!

I'm a LMT and my boyfriend used to drive all over the North East for his job, spending hours on the road and often sleeping in the truck and I know how bad it made his back and leg muscles. I often thought how useful it would be to have massage therapy available to truckers I can't figure how to do it without getting stuck in the stereotype. Massage Therapists constantly have to fight the image of the "masseuse" and "massage parlour" especially since society still supports shows like "The Client List". I'm happy to hear that some truckers also despise these stereotypes!ADK Massage Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247338540567761127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-28929169279715299592013-03-12T10:07:50.667-03:002013-03-12T10:07:50.667-03:00Same here!

How places like these are still in business I cannot figure out.Dave Sandersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423329808242765963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-34108760066620870642013-03-12T08:03:00.076-03:002013-03-12T08:03:00.076-03:00Amen!
