About the author
Patricia J. Benjamin, PhD, NCTMB, is a licensed massage therapist, educator, author, and appreciative massage and bodywork client.

Building on her earlier background in sports and fitness, Dr. Benjamin graduated from the Chicago School of Massage Therapy in the mid-1980s. She was drawn to massage as an active, hands-on therapy whose foundations dovetail with her former career in health, physical education, and recreation.After having a full-time massage therapy practice, she gravitated back to education, first as an association education director, and then as a teacher and massage school administrator. Over the years, she has served on various committees involved in the development of ethical standards and national certification for massage therapists, and the accreditation of massage programs. Dr. Benjamin has taught at the high school and college levels, and enjoys developing curriculum materials for the career-oriented courses offered in vocational programs. She holds master s and advanced study degrees in education with a specialty in curriculum development from Northern Illinois University. A doctorate in recreation and leisure studies from Purdue University has deepened her appreciation of the many facets of wellness and grounded her in a variety of research methods.

Since Dr.Tappan s passing in 1999, Dr. Benjamin has continued to update and improve " Tappan s Handbook of Healing Massage Techniques," and it remains a standard in the field today. Dr. Benjamin authored "Professional Foundations for Massage Therapists " (2009) as a resource for students to learn about the profession, its history, varied competencies, ethics, and business practices.
