** MASSAGE THERAPY Should Be An ALLOWABLE MEDICAL EXPENSE **
I ________________________ want to deduct Massage Therapy as an allowable Medical Expense on my 2010 & all future tax returns. Massage therapy is an invaluable part of my healthy lifestyle.
I receive the following benefits from regular massage therapy treatments:
Decreased pain
Fewer visits to medical clinics and hospitals
Activities of Daily Living are easier for me
Increased proactive self care, ie: stretching and exercise
Improved Quality of Life
Decreased use of over the counter painkillers
Increased overall well being
I feel that I am more responsible for my overall health
Other __________________________________________
I will cast my votes for candidates who support a wider access to alternative healthcare modalities including massage therapy. I wish to see more therapies reflected in our allowable tax deductions.
Sincerely,
