The MTP E102: Chronic Pain; Is It All In Your Head?

Welcome to The Massage Therapy Podcast

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.

Please note we are currently practicing physical distancing due to the Coronavirus and we are recording the the MTP remotely.


We take these global concerns seriously and have suspended our hands-on practice for the time being.  Allowing us to take this opportunity to pivot our focus on this dram project.  We hope that The MTP can offer you a way to disconnect from the stress of this pandemic and connect as a community.  We cannot stress enough the importance of everyone Staying Home and Flattening the Curve. Also, stay tuned to the end to hear our new segment, RMTea Time.  

Thank you for listening and enjoy!

Heather & Nicole
