It always catches my eye when massage therapy makes it into main stream news. There are numerous massage therapy magazines and articles which are fantastic resources, but when something goes into mainstream culture it reminds me that people outside of our profession understand the benefits of what we do. Too often we are mistaken for only being capable of relieving stress and anxiety. While this is true, and is a major component of what we do, one would be mistaken to say that it is all we do. In February, when I first read this article on CBC, I was very happy to see that finally someone mainstream had caught a glimpse of more of what it is that we do. With the advancement of research and a more in depth understanding of muscles and how they react, people are seeing how much of a role massage therapy actually plays in healing. Below is the article from CBC, I encourage you to take a moment to read it.
