I belive there should be a differentiation between '''bodywork''' and '''massage therapy'''. All massage therapy is bodywork, but not all bodywork is massage therapy (e.g. Breema). [[User:Perklund|Perklund]] 03:05, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)

I agree. Bodywork is a very general term and can refer to Pilates, Yoga, and personal training to name a few. --[[User:Kirien|Kirien]] 19:20, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I also agree. Massage therapy certainly falls under the heading of bodywork, but bodywork and massage therapy are in no way the same, and should not be combined in one article. [[massage therapy]] should redirect to [[massage]], and this article should be re-writen. [[User:Akromian|Akromian]] 08:40, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

Agree. Bodywork is often used to include body-centred psychotherapy - see http://www.entelia.de/, http://www.bodyworkers.org.uk/ http://www.psychocorporalintegration.info/ for instance. Tim Brown

== bodywork or body work ==

is bodywork two words? is it one word? could it acceptably be both? should the wikipedia address this?

The name of this article comes directly from page 240 of one of Andrew Weil's books.

Andrew Weil, M.D. <u>Spontaneous Healing: How to Discover and Enhance Your Body's Natural Ability to Maintain and Heal Itself</u>. Fawcett Columbine, The Ballantine Publishing Group, New York, 1996.

The name of this article is correctly spelled. [[User:John Gohde|John Gohde]] 01:40, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

: With all due respect to [[Andrew Weil|Dr. Weil]], the spelling doesn't mirror current usage.

: While both spellings are used (as they are in the article itself), spelling it as one word is by far the more common usage.

: It is listed as one word in the American Heritage Dictionary: [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bodywork bodywork]. Dictionary.com. ''The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language'', Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004. (accessed: February 11, 2007) and the ''Microsoft Encarta College Dictionary'', Bloomsbury Publishin Plc, 2001.

: Additionally, the [[Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals]], the [[National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork]], the [[Worlwide Aquatic Bodywork Association]], and [[Esalen Massage and Bodywork Association]] are more appropriate references, they are leading organizations in the field.

: I suspect this is a similar case to using either "[[data base]]" or "[[database]]"; the former was the initial usage, the latter is the present-day common usage, and the Wikipedia article is titled "Database".

: On the basis of all of the above, I'll move the page to "Bodywork (alternative medicine)".<font color="721227">&mdash;</font>[[User:Chidom|<font color="DC5300">'''Chidom'''</font>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Chidom|<font color="721227">^'''talk'''</font>]]&nbsp; 21:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

== removed commercial link ==

There was a link to a commercial site which I erased. [[User:Makana Chai|Makana Chai]] 01:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I Believe the Bodywork (alternative Medicine) category should properly be changed to the more "politically correct" category of Bodywork (complementary Medicine) for the reasons stated in the article.
