OT for massage?
i was reading an old ladies home journal - dont laugh, my grandma gets it for me - and there was a blurb on massage in the march 2009 issue and one of the parts was which therapist you should get. It mentioned LMT, OT, PT, and Nurse Massage Therapist. I thought it was kinda bizarre -but cool - she mentioned OT/PT for massage. For OT she mentioned "An OT will occasionally integrate massage into an overall plan for patients they are treating for hand injury or lymphedema". The writer's name was Emily Chau.

I'm in school now for OT and we have learned in classes that OT's use massage to release scar tissue in some cases. This can be used with hands and also some burn injuries (at least that is what we have learned!) I love your blog by the way, it is great to read about your new experiences!!!
