How does one find a good 1] Massage Therapist & 2] Acupuncturist? 1[ credentials, college degrees, etc.? Years doing it? References? MD referral? 2] all of the above + where trained? Are all or some of these important & worth looking into. Or do you just find someone & take a shot at it? My sister lived in Hong Kong and Beijing for 20+ years and believes any good US acupuncturist will have been trained in the Orient. >Rosemary & Roland Dexter - >Lanier, I think you have hit the nail on the head.
