Massage Therapy in the NFL, Part II

Pro athletes require massage therapy that is going to help them recover and keep them healthy during the season. For football players, this can be challenging to find a therapist that is qualified and licensed (see part I). There are of course plenty of female therapists that know how lucrative it can be to work on NFL pros and will go to any lengths to attract business to themselves. One in particular was brought to my attention through some of the players that she worked on. I didn’t have her name at first just a description and what she charged for a session. My client told me he was at his friend’s place who a player with the Miami Dolphins and was getting a massage from someone with a fat ass and that she was paid $300 for the session. First of all, an hour and half session should be around $150 not $300 so that raises a red flag immediately. Later, I was working on a player that used this woman and I finally got a name or initials: she goes by KJ. He described her as being crazy. I took her initials and googled them and came up with her name KJ Anderson LMT. The first photos of her are naked in body paint of Miami Dolphin colors posing in front of a Miami Dolphins poster. I then went to her website where she had links to her social media and I can say I was even more shocked to see nude photos of her and also posing in a thong! She has 4000 followers on her Instagram @kspikz where she has endless butt selfies on there. She really, really likes her butt and by the looks of she thinks this is her greatest asset. She also has pictures posted with young black guys in provocative positions and in her lingerie. Not only that she is a 40-year-old cougar working on several young NFL Miami Dolphin players.​
I know in the massage profession most of us work hard to keep it professional so it is terrible that someone like KJ Anderson comes along and feels the need to post nude photos of herself to attract business to herself. She also works on rappers and is also on a model website called Model Mayhem and goes by the name “Kalika”. If you don’t know the Miami nightclub scene I will tell you that “models” are hired to go to parties and clubs that are hosted by celebrities.
Rappers are not the same as professional athletes as pro athletes depend on their bodies for their work so it is important to stay healthy. An overweight rapper is not going to get an intense medical or therapeutic massage. As you can see by the photos I have posted she also does massage in tight bike shorts and tank tops. This is something that is not taught in massage school. We are taught to wear loose and not provocative clothing (usually scrubs). KJ Anderson defies everything that is taught in massage school and undermines the massage profession. Several players that she works on follow her on her Instagram account I guess to see what butt photo she is going to post next.
​It’s really unfortunate that therapists like KJ Anderson show up on the massage scene and work on these NFL pros knowing what she looks like naked and in a thong. This is not the message we want to put out there as far as massage therapy goes to young pro athletes.
KJ Anderson posted on her Facebook that the Miami Dolphins have hired her to go on the road in 2016, and they probably have her hired for the upcoming year. She also hasn’t been on the massage scene that long only a couple of years. I have heard from players that she doesn’t do as intense work as myself. While there are many different types of therapies it is important for these players to get a deep intense massage. Sure, it might be painful but they need it, anything less like a generic sports massage is not going to help them.
It saddens me that the massage profession has been taken back into the gutter by KJ Anderson and even saddens me more that the Miami Dolphins or any football team would hire someone like that who posts nude photos of herself to attract business. Unfortunately, the Florida Dept. of Health doesn’t have regulations to prevent the posting of nude photos of healthcare professionals, however, it could be a criminal investigation as it is considered pornography. What on earth are the Miami Dolphins thinking of by hiring her? Do they not do proper vetting? I am sure there are plenty of qualified massage therapists that do a decent massage that don’t revert to tactics of posting nude photos of themselves all over their social media to attract business. She didn’t get 4000 followers on her Instagram from her massage photos that’s for sure.
If this is what the NFL football scene has become, then it needs to be cleaned up. Health professionals are supposed to be held to a higher standard, and it really delegitimatizes the profession of massage when those like KJ Anderson show up and start working on NFL pros.​
