How old is your daughter? I ask because there are diagnostic issues when it comes to diagnosing BPD in a young person.
I try to follow research at the intersection of massage therapy and psychology very closely, and I know of no massage the…
Interesting topic.
The answer depends a lot on what mental illnesses, or mental disorders, we are talking about. There is a reasonably body of research on MT applied to anxiety and depression. There is much less or in most cases no research on MT a…
Love that bike, Christopher--I used to have one of those in red! Great fun, and please be careful without a helmut...at the hospital they call those "donor mobiles."
Thanks. And I agree with you about helmets. I only occasionally putter around the…
Hi Quincy.
How MT reduces blood pressure is not well understood yet, but that it has this effect is reasonably well supported by several studies. In addition to the ones Susan listed, I humbly add one of my own, in which we summarized the results o…
We just got the word in that a related pair of case reports that myself and one of my classmates/labmates submitted has been accepted for presentation :) If you're there, make sure you check out the case reports (and then start making your own for c…
The conference schedule is taking shape - see for yourself:

Also, remember that the reduced rate for registration is in place until March 31st. You can still reg…
Hi Walt.
Thanks for posting this! It's very interesting. I have added this study to my list of things to read and hope to get to it soon. In fact, I myself wanted to do a study very much like this one, but it seems these folks got there first. Good…
Randolf Stone published in the 60s. Polarity therapy.
Vlad - perhaps you could petition the organizers to dedicate a portion of the conference schedule to administering the Groovy Hair Award to Dr. Dalton. Surely that is as important as any of that silly research stuff.
However, if it's too late for t…
Erik - If Deputy really is your middle name, then that is definitely the best middle name ever.
Vlad - I would indeed love it if more peeps make it to Seattle. If they buy me a drink - coffee in the A.M., or vino in the P.M. - so much the better, b…
They're trying to incorporate as much of a democratic process as possible
They are, but that is actually a problem, in my opinion. The accumulation of knowledge is a meritocratic process more than it is a democratic one. If some folks think that en…
If so, can someone come up with a catchy marketing phrase to grab people's attention?
I'm partial to "Pay Up, Sucker".

Can I demand a recount?
Were there any hanging chads?
What would the Supreme Court have to say about this?
Ah, never mind. I love the profession, and I don't want to put it through all that. I humbly accept this defeat so that we can all move for…
Hey Vlad -
1. I'm humbled that I'm probably going to come in second, at best, behind Dr. Dalton. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I wanted to win. I always want to win!
2. The MTBOK - my general comment is that I'm really dismayed that it still co…

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:

Angie Patrick said… - 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.

Erica Olson said… - "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.

- Yeah, I noticed that the other day. I told him that I didn't think that going through and deleting all of his comments was particularly productive, either, as he'd said some things that I wanted to respond to. Bad form.
Hadn't noticed that the thread itself disappeared entirely. Again, pretty unproductive, IMO. I did see that Brenda put up a blog post chastising those of us who chose to carry on the conversation in a direction other than specifically answering her question, though, and I responded to her there as well.
Frustrating that a good, intellectual conversation can be so threatening as to have people react in such an instinctive manner. *sigh* Ah well. We're all evolving, aren't we?

- Chris--
Re: my comments in the Reiki "discussion"--thank you. I will say that I think you certainly could have been more diplomatic and less inflammatory (ie, when someone asks where a good church is, telling them that there is no such thing as God is certain to be disruptive), but I can't say that I disagree with a lot of what you and Keith have to say. However, still interested in what you've got to say.
Thx,
E.
