Letter to the WA Board of Massage: Version B is Better for Breasts!

TO: MassageRulesComments@doh.wa.gov
RE: WAC chapter 246-830
Dear Board of Massage,
I am a concerned citizen of Washington State and I support Version B of the Breast Massage section of WAC Chapter 246-830.
* I support this version because it requires specialized training to treat breast tissue.  
* I also support this version because it does NOT require a visit to my doctor for a diagnosis or referral, which can be costly and time consuming. 
* I am in favor of requiring written AND verbal consent prior to treatment to protect the public. 
Below is the amended copy of Version B that I support, with changes in italics.

Thank you for your service and consideration.
