Therapeutic massage is certainly a valued profession and plays a role in the health care community. Nonetheless, public education sometimes requires a lighter "touch" to be effective. It isn't necessary to be defensive. It also isn't necessary to promote professionalism on the one hand; and on the other seem to demean other professionals such as the PIP who, apparently, in your opinion "often" dismisses stress related symptoms by prescribing a pill. Although there may be some truth in this, it does sound dismissive of the PIP on your part. I am not much on acronyms, but I assume PIP in some way relates to a primary care provider. If I have misinterpreted your comments, I will apologize in advance.
