A member asked:
Could i become a massage therapist even if i have a messed up hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: What counts is not how your hand looks, but how it functions, what it can do. Can it perform the basic maneuvers and functions needed? You don't need 5 fingers on the hand to do massage, for example.
