Todays crisis in healthcare and in particularly affordability and sustainability is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Why is it that in a developed country such as the USA have such a disparity between those who have and those who have not? Clearly over the last 20 years medical premiums have been rising.

Hi all - this is an article I recently wrote for our newsletter:

Depending on what you read, the ankle is a combination of two or three joints.  Some say the ankle is the true ankle joint or talocrural joint and the subtalar joint.  Others include the distal tibiofibular joint in the term…

Champ and I attended the World Massage Festival this past week, held on the Queen Mary. This grand old boat is permanently docked in Long Beach, CA. On our last day there, we got a glimpse of the captain giving a tour to the grandchildren of the original captain of the ship. The ship itself is a beautiful historical remnant from times gone by, and we really enjoyed our stay.

Once again, the Festival itself was a blast. I look forward to attending every year! We arrived on Saturday and…

I would like to share this blog post because this simple exercise can help you age gracefully and improve your balance.  I would like to support massage therapists to be painfree in their practice and learn tools to prolong their careers. This is also a great way to give your clients balance and integrate changes. …

The first draft of the ELAP (Entry-Level Analysis Project) has finally been released. It’s been more than a year since I first blogged about it.

This research project proposal was introduced by ABMP and has come full circle from the first statements put out about it, which…

I hear through the grapevine that the Nevada State Board of Massage Therapists has voted to terminate their agency's membership in the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards. Why the big thumbs down? The main reason was a failure to deliver on the many promises FSMTB has made to its Member Boards.

It’s been several years since I was a delegate to the FSMTB annual meeting, so I went to the website to see what’s happening. The page entitled “Member Services” is “under construction.”…

This past week I was blessed to attend the International Massage Therapy Research Conference for the first time. This event is only held every three years and it was my first time attending. It was held at the Seaport in Boston, a beautiful hotel right on the…

Ever since my last post about Massage Envy being sold to a giant conglomerate, I’ve been sent dozens of links to message boards and discussions about ME, and many of them contain references to other work places and situations as well. The horror stories outweigh the good by about twenty to one.

There are a lot of places where massage therapists are expected to do…

What do chicken wings, magnetic signs, garbage collection, pet food and massage all have in common?

This company has invested $3 Billion Dollars in collections of franchises across the US and around the world.

I have never before devoted my blog to a book review, but I’m doing that this time, because (other than my own books, of course) I think this is one of the most important books that has been published for our profession. I’m speaking of…

I just returned from attending the World Massage Festival in Las Vegas, and what a blast! I’ve been attending this annual event for several years, and this was the best one yet. My husband, Champ, accompanied me, and we really had a fabulous time. This event is like a family reunion every year, so I really enjoyed seeing so many people I know and don’t get to see often. The Festival was held at the…

The problem with research as a whole is that there are very few original ideas.  If you are going to do a study, you need to have 20 other people who did something of the sort before you for you to be considered credible.  Now this has something in part to do with the sheer amount of time that it may take to put your desired study together.  The testing of your measurement tools alone can take years.  Due to this process, some researchers do us all a favor and conduct what is called a…

It’s all about me, so here’s my wishlist for the profession. It’s difficult to place these in order of importance, because some of them depend on each other, and in my little corner of massage, they’re all important. It’s election time–aren’t we all just about sick of hearing about it–candidates mudslinging and making campaign promises? If I was the President of Massage Land, here’s what I’d do:
