Forrest and Monica, two therapists from the town of Nelson, BC, join me to discuss the manual therapies like osteopathy, massage, and acupuncture. They share their journey from education to practice. With their stories, we have a look into the art of listening and communicating, and how these skills contribute to effective patient care.
Our discussion explores the evidence and anecdotes behind manual therapies, as we consider the challenges of marrying traditional techniques with modern evidence-based practice. With Forrest and Monica's experiences, we illuminate the significant role of human touch in evoking therapeutic responses, and how it serves as a common thread across different therapeutic disciplines. Additionally, we'll navigate the intricacies of creating a calming clinic atmosphere that promotes wellness and the importance of your approach in eliciting a desired response in patients.
Lastly, we debate the delicate balance between ethics and compassion, sharing personal stories that highlight the power of personalized treatment. Monica introduces us to the "three legs of a stool" concept in patient communication, vital for ensuring a comprehensive approach to patient care. We also touch on the emotional aspect of physical illnesses and the necessity for a safe space where clients can express and process their emotions. This episode promises not just to enlighten but also to inspire both practitioners and patients in the continuous journey of healing and self-discovery.

We examine the educational landscape with a call for an evidence-based approach that benefits both aspiring therapists and future clients.
Dave and I share stories from our educational journey's, advocating for a shift towards curricula that arm therapists with more than just textbook knowledge.

Ever wondered if everything you've heard about scar tissue and massage therapy is consistent with the evidence? Prepare to have your beliefs challenged as we're joined by Susan Shipton RMT from Toronto, Ontario. In this episode we discuss the myths and realities of scar tissue management in massage therapy, particularly following surgery. We've all heard the tales of aggressive massage techniques "breaking down" scar tissue, but Susan and I, draw from some current research and our shared experiences to illuminate the path that blends scientific inquiry with the tender compassion necessary in our profession.
Scar tissue isn't just a physical hurdle; it's a complex puzzle that intertwines with our body's pain response, healing mechanisms, and psychological well-being. In this episode, we dissect the multifaceted nature of scar formation and the delicate process of recovery, considering everything from the perplexing axillary web syndrome to the influence of gentle touch post-surgery. Susan's insights from her VODER training on manual lymph drainage reinforce our conversation on the kind of soft, evidence-supported care that respects the body's integrity during such a vulnerable time.
Lastly, the management of pain and patient expectations. We address the pressing need for honesty and realism when discussing treatment outcomes with patients, exploring how reassessing our approach to scar tissue can lead to more effective healing journeys. Susan and I examine the critical role of movement and touch in not just improving physical symptoms but also in supporting patients' psychological recovery, helping them to embrace and integrate changes to their bodies. Join us as we offer a nuanced perspective that challenges convention and encourages a deeper understanding of the body's response to trauma and therapy.Support the Show.

In this episode I have a great conversation with Ashley Brzezicki, an RMT and death doula, whose personal narrative and cultural insights bridge the gap between massage therapy and end-of-life care. Exploring this tender intersection, we shine a light on the human touch in healthcare—a touch that offers solace to those grappling with terminal illnesses and envelops their loved ones in the warm embrace of empathy and understanding.
Ashley's tapestry of narratives threads through our conversation, from confronting the cultural discomfort around death to the art of finding meaning amidst life's final chapter. We delve into the vital role of hospice care, a misunderstood haven offering more than just comfort in dying—it's about living each moment to the fullest, with dignity. Our discourse challenges the medical community's preoccupation with cure over care, advocating for a holistic approach where every healthcare provider, from the massage therapist to the hospice nurse, becomes a guide in the patient's odyssey of self-discovery and acceptance.
This episode calls out some of the noticeable absences in healthcare education, and we advocate for massage therapy to become a university-level degree. We dissect the ethical implications of outdated teachings and the significance of evidence-based practice, as well as the challenges practitioners face in the evolving landscape of Continuing Education. Our exchange extends beyond academia to the essence of patient-centered care, weighing the merits of various modalities against the need for genuine relief. Join us, as we unfurl the importance of compassionate healthcare and the enduring impact of a simple human touch in the profound journey of life's sunset.Support the Show.

In my conversation with Pam Fitch, a respected RMT and author, we explore the past and future of massage therapy to reveal its ethical and communicative core. Pam and I explore the delicate balance between physical relief and psychological comfort, and the potential held within our profession.
We all carry our life stories, and it's through understanding this narrative that wellness begins. Pam and I share personal anecdotes that underscore the significance of recognizing each client's unique touch history. From the intricacies of informed consent to common presentations like neck and shoulder pain, we traverse the human aspect of massage therapy, emphasizing empathy and respect as pillars of our practice. This episode is a tribute to the profound connections we forge in the therapy room, where we treat the person, not just the condition.
Pam and I challenge the profession to elevate its value within the healthcare community by embracing the psychological and emotional support we provide. With Pam's insights, we confront the complexities of treating conditions like obesity and chronic pain, advocating for evidence-based practice over pseudoscientific advice. Every word, every treatment decision carries meaning, and we discuss the responsibility we hold as RMTs to communicate with integrity and to adapt to each client's needs with open minds and informed methods. Tune in to gain a new perspective on the therapist-client relationship and the ethical landscape of massage therapy.

Massage therapy in BC is changing with the recent announcement of a new practice standard for RMTs, evidence-based practice. With the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia (CMTBC) charting a bold new direction, I discuss how the adoption of this new standard come January 2024 could transform the professional landscape for therapists. With an enhanced focus on patient-centered care and focusing on the use of relevant research evidence, this should allow for a staunch rejection of pseudoscientific approaches that have lingered in the field for far too long. Join me, as we explore the commitment to integrating research, patient perspectives, and therapists' expertise, reshaping the definition of what practice competence could look like in our industry.
With the EBP new standards, this signals a departure from the old guard, mandating a clinical practice underpinned by robust research and continuous professional development. I share insights on the essential role of up-to-date research in shaping treatment plans that truly benefit the patient, not the bottom line. This episode highlights the surge of accountability as therapists are now expected to perpetually sharpen their knowledge and skills with a deep dive into evidence-based educational resources.
In a candid reflection, I recount my journey as an educator and the lessons I have learned from moving beyond outdated practice narratives. As we wrap up, I extend a warm invitation to all listeners to join the conversation on evidence-based practice, with a commitment to nurturing a community where professionals can confidently implement these progressive approaches. .Support the Show.

The status quo in the world of musculoskeletal healthcare needs to change. Bridging the gap between outdated norms, current practice standards and evidence-based care is what Marcus Blumensaat is working hard to do. In this episode we welcome Marcus, a registered massage therapist and continuing education provider, who shares his journey as a clinician, family man and a CE instructor. Also, Marcus shares his peculiar interest in watches!
Venturing beyond the traditional scope, we shed light on the overlooked significance of exercise and movement prescription and question the overemphasis on passive therapies. Marcus takes us through the insightful concept of 'movement optimism' and the need to shift perspective towards the abilities of patients rather than their disabilities. Together, we demystify common myths about posture and biomechanics and discuss the integral role of listening and ruling out red flags while empowering individuals to resume their beloved activities.
Finally, we steer towards the crucial transition from patho-anatomical, tissue-based models to evidence-based behavioral sciences in musculoskeletal healthcare. We explore the art of patient-centered care, therapeutic alliances, and effective communication strategies. Wrapping up, we navigate the intricate waters of healthcare regulation and the role of continuing education in crafting proficient healthcare professionals.

Welcome Christian Lacsamana to Purves Versus and to the profession of massage therapy. Christian is a new RMT in Vancouver, BC. He was previously a kinesiologist who decided he wanted to pursue a career in massage therapy so he could offer additional benefits to his clients rather than just exercise and movement.
Our conversation focuses on his experiences in school and what his first year of practice has been like. Christian shares what he enjoyed and what he felt could be improved upon in the curriculum and he tells us about the future endeavours he wants to pursue as an RMT.
We discuss the mixed messaging in RMT education, the importance of language and communication styles, the importance of mental health and ongoing self-care and how creating a sense of community and support in embracing change in how continuing education is delivered is necessary for moving forward as a profession.

This is the second episode in my series on new RMTs. Today we have Courtney, who is an RMT in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We had a great conversation about the need to adapt RMT entry to practice curriculum to make it consistent with current evidence and how the industry and more importantly the public would benefit from a shift in thinking from fixing people to providing more meaningful support and management.
At the time of this recording she was just finishing her studies in RMT school. Courtney started to develop a sense of skepticism during her entry to practice education so she started to search for information outside of her school environment. This led her in a search for updated knowledge which was challenging everything she was learning in school. When presenting this new information to her instructors she was frustrated because she was encouraged to not ask questions and to simply accept the knowledge that she was being presented with.
Courtney’s experience is not unique as it demonstrates some of the common problems our profession has with its entry to practice curriculum. We share a few suggestions of a better way forward which we hope the stakeholders will adopt.

In this episode Walt tells us about his clinical and educational experiences and how he made the transition from being heavily invested as an MFR focused therapist into being an evidence-based clinician.
We discuss the importance of finding an acceptable balance in our understanding, our communication and how we teach continuing education. Our treatment interventions aren’t always just about one tissue or a special technique, they are more complex than that and the outcomes people experience are more strongly related to the strength of the therapeutic relationship.
The willingness to embrace shared decision making is the core premise of what he wants learners to take away from his courses.

In this episode I welcome Whitney Lowe who is a massage therapist from Sisters Oregon. He has been a leader in high quality massage therapy education in the US for almost 30 years. In this episode we focus on the importance of providing effective massage therapy education at both the entry to practice level as well as for experienced clinicians through continuing education.
We both are realistic with the difficulties of providing evidence-based education that differs from the mainstream modality empires. Our focus as educators is knowledge translation which inspires critical thinking.
This was such a great conversation that could have lasted for hours! I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it.
