some research that will take you about 45 minutes and provide our profession
with lots of data to counterweight to the notion that massage treatment is
palliative without curative value. I’ve included some links below to help
explain the project. Your help is much appreciated. Even if you can’t help with

Get your students involved in the research project outlined above (LINK) and
let me come to your school (Southern California Only) to provide your students
with a FREE lecture and workshop covering massage techniques for common connective
tissue disorders of the foot. Students will learn how to test the effectiveness
of massage techniques and learn how scientific method can provide insight into
the curative effectiveness of massage therapy. If your students are outside of
the Southern California area, click the links below to access student notes and
a power point presentation for the lecture and workshop. You can use these
resources to conduct the study with your students with E-Mail consultation if
needed.
