I have gone to massage therapists for years and know a few personally. You try massaging a 200 pound man with tight muscles when you are a 120 pound woman. They have a very difficult job. Their hands and arms almost go numb at times. If they don't receive treatments themselves, they wouldn't be able to do their job for many years. They would wear out after 5 or 10 years. Most will begin to branch out into areas that are not so strenuous after a few years. I have one client that is going into being an esthetician because her wrists and hand are wearing out. Having massages and chiropractic treatments really is necessary to them being able to continue their work because it is so physical.
I also realize that IRS is not going to recognize this as a legitimate business deduction. I have told my client that. But it should be!!!!
How many of us go to a relaxing place for our continuing education because it is good for our mental health? We don't always pick the closest place. Hey, it we get a massage at the hotel we stay at while attending a seminar can we deduct that???????

I remember an EA from Chicago that used to come to Florida for seminars every year. They loved to come to Florida, sit by pool in evening, etc.
