MOUNT VERNON — “Massage — It does a body good.” That is the slogan informally adopted by Diane Fisher, coordinator of the Knox County Career Center School of Massage Therapy. A licensed massage therapist, Fisher is a firm believer in the healing powers of massage therapy.
“We need touch,” she said. “We as a culture, unfortunately, now especially, we’re so much more in touch with all our little devices like iPods and things, and yet touching [people] is a no-no.

It’s helpful to help us learn to relax and to reclaim some of ourselves, so our body can get to that rest and relaxation place.
