PART 2 - Where we discuss (read: get off our chest) topics based on our own experiences. To kick it off we are discussing our ups and downs while working within multidisciplinary clinics, as an RMT employee, as well as our transition into being our own bosses.
That really is the question on the mind of all RMTs at one point or another in their career. This two parter is just the start of our new series, MTP Rants.
In episode 3, Heather & Nicole talk about what seems to be a dirty word in the Massage Therapy industry, we of course are talking about Relaxation Massage. You could say this was our driving force to start the podcast as we have heard from colleagues and the general public alike refer to this type of therapy as "fluff". Tune is as we discuss our perspectives on whether or not "relaxation massage" is a viable treatment for clients.
In Episode 2, Heather and Nicole discuss Pain; what it is, why we feel it and how, we, as manual therapists approach it. We mostly focus on chronic pain and how it is predominantly a main focus in both our Massage Therapy practices. We are Registered Massage Therapists in Ontario, Canada. Combined, we have over 13 years of professional massage therapy experience and we are both female small business owners who have a passion for health and wellness.
Welcome to The Massage Therapy Podcast (The MTP). For our first podcast we wanted to take a moment and introduce you to our hosts, Heather & Nicole. Listen in to hear about our backgrounds as Registered Massage Therapists in Ontario and why we chose the path we are on.
This episode we reviewed The Effectiveness of Cupping Therapy on Relieving Chronic Neck and Shoulder Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial by Lee-Mei Chi, Li-Mei Lin, Chien-Lin Chen, Shu-Fang Wang, Hui-Ling Lai, and Tai-Chu Peng. This paper was submitted in 2015 and published to Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2016.
Even thought Massage Therapy is deemed regulated health profession, we as therapists sometimes come across scenarios that stop you in your tracks and say...huh?
On this instalment of MTP Rants, we decided to just sit down and catch up and talk about how much we love massage therapy. The month of June we had so much to celebrate so this is how we are doing it, since you know COVID.
