Massaging Rockstars | Dot Stein

Dot Stein is known as the “rock n’ roll masseuse.” She has tended to numerous well-known musical performers for nearly thirty years. Her client list includes notable acts such as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa, Katy Perry, Eminem, and David Bowie. As her career grew, so did her company, Dr. Dot Therapy, which now employs over 900 people. Through Dr. Dot Therapy, they offer a myriad of services like yoga, spa services, acupuncture, chiropractic services, and more. She is also known for her trademarked “Bite Massage,” a massage technique where she bites the back of a client in order to improve blood circulation. Her nickname, Dr. Dot, was given to her by Frank Zappa in 1988. Her foray into the world of massages began when she was a teenager. Wanting to meet her musical heroes, she would offer massages to gain backstage access, without having to trade on sexual favors. “I chose massage rather than the groupie route,” she says. “I wanted to meet the people who wrote the lyrics to the music I loved so much.” Listen in as she shares her truly unique story.   Links: Dot’s Website: www.drdot.com
