This makes Ms. Cook the first LMT in the state of Maine to be certified in this technique.

  2. Congrats Destiny! I’ve been receiving massage therapy from her for I believe about eight years. She’s truly an expert at what she does, and as the article makes clear, she keeps learning and improving her craft. She’s right downtown too – Farmington is lucky to have her!

  3. Great news and Congratulations!
    As long as this technique is considered part of The Scope of Practice as defined by the state law licensing massage professionals, it’s legal for a massage therapist to perform Graston Technique. And if her insurance carrier recognizes the technique as part of massage as defined by her malpractice/liability policy, she’ll be covered if there is a claimed injury.

    I hope she is fabulously successful!
