What techniques/strokes would you use to massage a client with bone cancer?
Q. I'm a massage therapist student and I need help with a report that I'm doing on bone cancer. I need to know what techniques/strokes or even what type of massage you would do for a client with bone cancer. I need to have a detailed session written out, but I don't know what to put. Help, please?!

A. Something that I learned in massage therapy school is that chemotherapy treatment really weakens the bones so especially if your client is undergoing chemo I would do a very gentle massage. Of course contact with the physician is a must before any treatment with this client and ongoing conversations are necessary. After looking at a few different bone cancer websites (google massage therapy and bone cancer) it seems that a lot of the massage that is used for bone cancer patients is to relieve the pain that they are experiencing and to help them relax...If I had a bone cancer patient our first session would include a great deal of conversations so that I could become more familiar with who they are and what their needs are.

How to improve my golf game by 10-15 strokes per round?
Q. Hey guys i'm 14 and I shoot usually around 100--a little lower. I know it sucks, but i'm pretty inconsistent. I'm left handed and my drives always hook far to the left. I miss the green quite a bit even though i should be hitting it. My putting is ok, but I miss the 6 footers and add strokes. What can I do to fix my left drives and be more consistent striking the ball?

Do you have to swim all 4 strokes to be on a swim team?
Q. I am wondering if I need to swim all 4 strokes (breaststroke, freestyle, etc.) to be on a high school swim team. I'm pretty good at freestyle and backstroke, but I really suck at breaststroke and butterfly.

A. No. If you are bad at butterfly or breaststroke, most likely your coach will put you in backstroke and freestyle events. That does not mean that you will not have to train all four strokes, or that your coach (if he or she is any good) will attempt to improve your butterfly or breaststroke to see if you have untapped potential or IM potential. But in terms of racing, unless you have an entire team of poor butterfliers and breaststrokers (or an entire team of strong freestylers and backstrokers), you will likely be placed into your strong events. Not a team in the world is going to turn away a strong backstroker or freestyler because their breaststroke is too slow. That would be absurd.
