** 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,
