Looking for the latest research on massage therapy?
I'm a researcher by nature. I believe in finding out all you can about something before trying it. I have to say though, that when I became a massage therapist, my intuitiveness and gut feelings were greatly enhanced, almost to the point of being uncomfortable. I think I try to blend the two now because there is much to be gained by both.
Massage therapy research can tell us a whole lot about the body responds to different techniques as well as to how it can respond to induced relaxation. We can perhaps find out what the best course of treatment will be for specific conditions rather than having to experiment to find the best method.
Massage therapists by nature and by profession rely a great deal on intuition because we are a feeling being and when involved in a touch profession, our senses are heightened. Our Intuition can tell us a great deal about what to do and how to do it, but we live in a world that needs cold hard facts to make it believable.
