Dear Dr. __________,

	My name is ____________.  I’m a massage practitioner and I work with clients who suffer from chronic pulmonary disorders. I know you already use physical therapy and respiratory therapy as part of the respiratory rehabilitation of your patients.
	What I’d like you to consider is the extra benefit your patients can receive with massage therapy in their treatment. 
	I’ve included the special brochure which briefly describes the goals of massage therapy and how it can be an extraordinarily effective tool as a component of an integrative approach in the treatment of chronic respiratory disorders. This brochure is an excerpt from a book written by Ross Turchaninov, MD, Therapeutic Massage: A Scientific Approach.
	The brochure details and documents the accepted scientific and medical basis for how massage therapy enhances pulmonary rehabilitation. It includes reviews from major Western medical publications which have reported results of experimental and clinical studies examining the effects of massage therapy on respiratory function.
	I would greatly appreciate your taking the time to review this information. I firmly believe you will find it time well spent.
	I hope to hear from you soon so we may meet and discuss how I can benefit your practice and your patients through the use of my therapeutic and medical massage services.

                                          Sincerely,
