Thanks to the California state certification I will not need to renew my Massage License that I have had for 11 years in my city. They have informed me that because I am CAMTC Certified I will be sent an application for Professional Permit. The diff…

Boris, I fail to see why you would want to waste your time discussing massage research with someone who is so obviously below minimum standards on the science of massage.

Christopher: I suggest you look at: http://medicalmassagedvds.tripod.com/id55.html if you wish to continue to challenge Boris and his opinions. Noel - I don't care if the person I'm challenging has ten Nobel prizes, if they don't have data. Scien…

Boris, I'm so sorry you were disrespected and outraged by a picture of my dog, which I posted not in response to you, but to another poster. As for answering your questions, I do believe I've answered the relevant ones. Ad hominems and arguments fr…

I read it the first time. In the absence of data to support your claim, your public condemnation of Tschakovsky as "intellectually dishonest" is outrageous.

Tchaikovsky in my opinion... is both intellectually dishonest and not competent scientist. Wow. That's quite an accusation, to accuse someone of intellectual dishonesty, let alone based on a brief newspaper overview of a single study they conducte…

I strongly believe that practitioner with strong clinical back ground would agree that nothing what you have wrote above applicable for this case. You're mistaken in that belief. I know plenty of experienced clinicians who would understand and agre…

Regarding the Tchaikovsky study, I have only read the overview of it that appeared in the NYTimes. I have not read the actual study itself. What I read in the NYT did not strike me as very controversial. It described a laboratory approach to try and…

Thank you Boris, I am also enjoying our discussion. "I... happen to believe... that in such a case of so rapid positive clinical changes just regular acceptable treatment wouldn't cause(take much more time) but real powerful energy work stimulation…

I only passed on discussing the Tchiakovsky issue at first because of limited time today, and because I wanted to stick with the original topic of the thread. I'm willing to discuss it, though. As for your assertion that the lessons of the Clever H…

Hi Boris. "should we... ignore what we saw with our eyes in case of Apricot?" No, I don't think we should ignore what we saw. I think we have to ask ourselves, carefully and critically, what it is that we saw. I can only speak for myself, but what…

Just in case it interests anyone reading this, here is my beautiful dog, Callie, a 13-year old mix who is primarily Australian Dingo. I'd say we're bonded quite well, whatever the explanation.

Well, I'm a skeptic, and I do believe that I do experience life on that level, including my interactions with my five pets, whom I love. I have profound interactions with the humans and the animals in my life all the time. My bond with my dog (who h…

Boris - Thanks for your response. I agree that it's a terrific video, and I appreciate that you recognize there are definitely limitations to what we can conclude from the video ("we cannot come to conclusions..."). I couldn't disagree more strong…

That is an amazing and heartwarming video, and Apricot is a beautiful animal. I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch it. And, I agree that Apricot seemed to like those sessions. In fact, I'll go further and say that Apricot probably benefited from…

At Massage Envy we see clients. They come to us for a variety of reasons as has been stated. They are still clients.

Affective Massage Therapy

A little while ago I wrote an editorial in the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork in which I coined the term "Affective Massage Therapy." The editorial, as well as all IJTMB content, is freely available online; see either:

http://www.ijtmb.org/index.php/ijtmb/article/view/30/31

or

http://www.ijtmb.org/index.php/ijtmb/article/view/30/39

to read the editorial on Affective Massage Therapy.

I'm curious to know - does that term capture an important part of your work… Continue

Good morning Christopher!

Added you as a friend. I do not see you or any one else here as the enemy. Mike is my personal friend but I do not agree with how he handles himself sometimes.

Thanks Darcy. I'll consider it.

Christopher we want you to come to the 2011 World Massage Festival on Research. I hope you will plan on coming.

I think you are becoming addicted to this site! :) Or is it all in the name of research? :):):):)

Noooo... Not intended to be spam... his is information I anm asked for all the time, and i have never had anything to give anyone. I would, of course, LIKE you to buy from Massage Warehouse.... but moreover, I think having this data before you buy is far more important. It is shared in the spirit of information only.

"He" is Mike, the one you had most of your discussion with. He replied to a couple of things on . . . Saturday, I believe, during the day, but by nightfall had deleted all of his comments in the thread. I still haven't heard back from him.

And as for Brenda going home with her marbles . . . all I can do is sigh.
