While the ethics requirements for entry level massage therapists is higher than ever Massage Therapist ethical violation reports have risen. Why?

Join me in this dynamic discussion-forum class where we delve into the ethical problems peppering this area and brainstorm ways to help increase the overall ethical behavior.
