The Massage Therapist Development Initiative
The Massage Therapist Development Initiative is a platform for Massage Therapists and other Manual Therapists to learn more about research and becoming a more evidence-based practitioner. This is an opportunity to not only create a positive change in our profession but also for other therapists to create better outcomes in their practice and with their patients.

Episode #18 Manual Therapy: Exploiting The Role Of Human Touch.

On this episode we look at a great paper entitled: "Manual Therapy: Exploiting The Role Of Human Touch."
This was a great paper as it shows us several different things about the benefit of touch. While there are some therapists out there saying things like: "manual therapy sucks" this paper helps refute that and shows the benefits of touch in a therapeutic setting.
Here is a link to the paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2468781219302887
