The New Generation Massage Therapist – Details, episodes & analysis

I think we've all seen changes in the past couple of years with the pandemic and other things going on.

For the both of us, we experienced a significant amount of burnout, so we thought we'd share our stories as we're sure we aren't alone in the experience.

Education, education, education.

We constantly promote a better education for Massage Therapists and as those who teach continuing education courses we have a lot of responsibility to keep current with new evidence and research.

And so do our associations. Our associations wield some great power in what can and is offered to their perspective memberships for continuing education. But are they all handling their responsibility well? If not, their members should demand better.

On this episode, we chat about some of the failures we've had in our careers.

It's important to talk about failures because you can't succeed without failing. Also because we all make mistakes in practice but we're not alone, the more we discuss them, the greater growth we can have.

On this episode we look at a great paper entitled:  "Manual Therapy: Exploiting The Role Of Human Touch."

This was a great paper as it shows us several different things about the benefit of touch. While there are some therapists out there saying things like: "manual therapy sucks" this paper helps refute that and shows the benefits of touch in a therapeutic setting.

On this episode we look at Tone Police and Language and how this functions within our profession.

We are of the belief that we choose how to react to someone's words and perhaps the way we react isn't always warranted.

On this episode we look at "Beliefs Vs. Science" and how this functions within our profession.

We are of the belief that if science refutes or proves your belief wrong, we have a responsibility as healthcare professionals to change that narrative.
