TO: Commerce and Labor Committee

Subject: HB81

I am writing to ask the Committee to add an exemption to HB81 for
practitioners of Feldenkrais and Trager Massage Therapy to HB81.

I am the parent of a man with developmental disabilities who has
received many Feldenkrais and Trager sessions over the years. The
benefits he has received include improved range of motion, trunk
stability, tone and core strength. These therapies have enabled him to
continue to lead the least restrictive life we all want and that is very
important to someone who is predominantly wheelchair bound.

While my son’s practitioners hold licenses to touch, I do recognize the
importance of these modalities and support the inclusion of an
exception in HB81 that would allow all Trager and Feldenkrais
practitioners to continue their practices without additional
requirements.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dennis Paulik
