Blending Charitable Donations Into The Structure Of Your Business

Posted: September 9th, 2011 | Author: admin | Filed under: massage | Tags: | No Comments »

The Massage Therapy Foundation is working to raise the awareness of every massage therapist about the importance of good research that can improve the way they practice. Leading educators in our field use that information to enrich their classes and workshops.

I am Michael Holloway, owner of Takemyregistration.com. For the last nine years I have been promoting live seminars for the massage industry featuring many of the top names in the industry. Aaron Mattes, Erik Dalton, Ben Benjamin, Paul St John, James Waslaski, Bruce Baltz, Anita Shannon, Ellen Watson and many more have worked with me. I am also a donor to the Massage Therapy Foundation because I feel strongly that their work in research, education, and community service supports our whole profession.

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

What does that mean and how does it help massage therapy? According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

And important and viable Massage Therapy (MT) evidential information may come from some not so obvious places; for example<strong> &#8211; The 3<sup>rd</sup> International Fascia Research Congress (FRC3). </strong></p> <p>This may in part be due to the fact that the <strong>Massage Therapy Association of British Columbia (MTABC)</strong> is hosting this event and <strong>The Massage Therapy Foundation</strong> is a Silver Sponsor.</p> <p>Although <em>fascia</em> is the focus of this event – much of what is being presented is applicable to any Massage Therapist – even if your practice is not ‘fascial’ focused (e.g. Structural Integration/Rolf Method, KMI, MFR, Fascial Manipulation, Bindgeweb etc.).</p> <p>Fascia &#8211; the soft-tissue aspect of connective tissue &#8211; has a relationship with all of the other structures/systems commonly addressed within the context of a MT practice (e.g. muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, joint capsule, nerves etc.).</p> <p>Any practitioner addressing soft-tissue related issues can benefit from the information coming out of the FRC3 as there are a number of keynote presentations, panel sessions and post conference workshops that are clinically relevant to a MT practice.</p> <p>For example Jay P. Shah MD will present the Myofascial Trigger Point (MTrP) research he and co-investigators at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting.</p> <p>Shah et al have determined that the palpable, discrete, hyper-irritable nodules (MTrPs) can be visualized using ultrasound and are stiffer than surrounding tissue. Furthermore, <strong>active</strong> MTrPs can be differentiated from latent MTrPs and unaffected muscle (e.g. active MTrP demonstrate unique blood flow waveform characteristics, display a larger surface area and elevated levels of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, catecholamines, and cytokines – substances associated with sensitization and persistent pain).</p> <p>Assessing for and treating MTrPs is nothing new to most MT’s but now the commonly recognizable palpable and patient subjective evaluation indicators can be supported by an additional objective, repeatable, reliable and <strong>inter-professionally recognized</strong> diagnostic test.</p> <p>Furthermore, perhaps discernable changes (for the better) following manual treatment of MTrPs may also be visualized – supporting the efficacy of manual MTrP techniques.</p> <p>The MTrP research being conducted by Shah and his co-investigators is of significant importance to MT’s from a perspective of assessment evaluation, supporting the viability of MT and improving treatment outcomes. This in turn supports our commitment to Best Practices and to continually improving our quality of care.</p> <p>The 2012 FRC3 has sold out, but you can still expand your knowledge and skill-set and improve your quality of care by exploring all the FRC related materials.

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

And important and viable Massage Therapy (MT) evidential information may come from some not so obvious places; for example<strong> &#8211; The 3<sup>rd</sup> International Fascia Research Congress (FRC3). </strong></p> <p>This may in part be due to the fact that the <strong>Massage Therapy Association of British Columbia (MTABC)</strong> is hosting this event and <strong>The Massage Therapy Foundation</strong> is a Silver Sponsor.</p> <p>Although <em>fascia</em> is the focus of this event – much of what is being presented is applicable to any Massage Therapist – even if your practice is not ‘fascial’ focused (e.g. Structural Integration/Rolf Method, KMI, MFR, Fascial Manipulation, Bindgeweb etc.).</p> <p>Fascia &#8211; the soft-tissue aspect of connective tissue &#8211; has a relationship with all of the other structures/systems commonly addressed within the context of a MT practice (e.g. muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, joint capsule, nerves etc.).</p> <p>Any practitioner addressing soft-tissue related issues can benefit from the information coming out of the FRC3 as there are a number of keynote presentations, panel sessions and post conference workshops that are clinically relevant to a MT practice.</p> <p>For example Jay P. Shah MD will present the Myofascial Trigger Point (MTrP) research he and co-investigators at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting.</p> <p>Shah et al have determined that the palpable, discrete, hyper-irritable nodules (MTrPs) can be visualized using ultrasound and are stiffer than surrounding tissue. Furthermore, <strong>active</strong> MTrPs can be differentiated from latent MTrPs and unaffected muscle (e.g. active MTrP demonstrate unique blood flow waveform characteristics, display a larger surface area and elevated levels of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, catecholamines, and cytokines – substances associated with sensitization and persistent pain).</p> <p>Assessing for and treating MTrPs is nothing new to most MT’s but now the commonly recognizable palpable and patient subjective evaluation indicators can be supported by an additional objective, repeatable, reliable and <strong>inter-professionally recognized</strong> diagnostic test.</p> <p>Furthermore, perhaps discernable changes (for the better) following manual treatment of MTrPs may also be visualized – supporting the efficacy of manual MTrP techniques.</p> <p>The MTrP research being conducted by Shah and his co-investigators is of significant importance to MT’s from a perspective of assessment evaluation, supporting the viability of MT and improving treatment outcomes. This in turn supports our commitment to Best Practices and to continually improving our quality of care.</p> <p>The 2012 FRC3 has sold out, but you can still expand your knowledge and skill-set and improve your quality of care by exploring all the FRC related materials.

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

What does that mean and how does it help massage therapy? According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

And important and viable Massage Therapy (MT) evidential information may come from some not so obvious places; for example<strong> &#8211; The 3<sup>rd</sup> International Fascia Research Congress (FRC3). </strong></p> <p>This may in part be due to the fact that the <strong>Massage Therapy Association of British Columbia (MTABC)</strong> is hosting this event and <strong>The Massage Therapy Foundation</strong> is a Silver Sponsor.</p> <p>Although <em>fascia</em> is the focus of this event – much of what is being presented is applicable to any Massage Therapist – even if your practice is not ‘fascial’ focused (e.g. Structural Integration/Rolf Method, KMI, MFR, Fascial Manipulation, Bindgeweb etc.).</p> <p>Fascia &#8211; the soft-tissue aspect of connective tissue &#8211; has a relationship with all of the other structures/systems commonly addressed within the context of a MT practice (e.g. muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, joint capsule, nerves etc.).</p> <p>Any practitioner addressing soft-tissue related issues can benefit from the information coming out of the FRC3 as there are a number of keynote presentations, panel sessions and post conference workshops that are clinically relevant to a MT practice.</p> <p>For example Jay P. Shah MD will present the Myofascial Trigger Point (MTrP) research he and co-investigators at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting.</p> <p>Shah et al have determined that the palpable, discrete, hyper-irritable nodules (MTrPs) can be visualized using ultrasound and are stiffer than surrounding tissue. Furthermore, <strong>active</strong> MTrPs can be differentiated from latent MTrPs and unaffected muscle (e.g. active MTrP demonstrate unique blood flow waveform characteristics, display a larger surface area and elevated levels of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, catecholamines, and cytokines – substances associated with sensitization and persistent pain).</p> <p>Assessing for and treating MTrPs is nothing new to most MT’s but now the commonly recognizable palpable and patient subjective evaluation indicators can be supported by an additional objective, repeatable, reliable and <strong>inter-professionally recognized</strong> diagnostic test.</p> <p>Furthermore, perhaps discernable changes (for the better) following manual treatment of MTrPs may also be visualized – supporting the efficacy of manual MTrP techniques.</p> <p>The MTrP research being conducted by Shah and his co-investigators is of significant importance to MT’s from a perspective of assessment evaluation, supporting the viability of MT and improving treatment outcomes. This in turn supports our commitment to Best Practices and to continually improving our quality of care.</p> <p>The 2012 FRC3 has sold out, but you can still expand your knowledge and skill-set and improve your quality of care by exploring all the FRC related materials.

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

And important and viable Massage Therapy (MT) evidential information may come from some not so obvious places; for example<strong> &#8211; The 3<sup>rd</sup> International Fascia Research Congress (FRC3). </strong></p> <p>This may in part be due to the fact that the <strong>Massage Therapy Association of British Columbia (MTABC)</strong> is hosting this event and <strong>The Massage Therapy Foundation</strong> is a Silver Sponsor.</p> <p>Although <em>fascia</em> is the focus of this event – much of what is being presented is applicable to any Massage Therapist – even if your practice is not ‘fascial’ focused (e.g. Structural Integration/Rolf Method, KMI, MFR, Fascial Manipulation, Bindgeweb etc.).</p> <p>Fascia &#8211; the soft-tissue aspect of connective tissue &#8211; has a relationship with all of the other structures/systems commonly addressed within the context of a MT practice (e.g. muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, joint capsule, nerves etc.).</p> <p>Any practitioner addressing soft-tissue related issues can benefit from the information coming out of the FRC3 as there are a number of keynote presentations, panel sessions and post conference workshops that are clinically relevant to a MT practice.</p> <p>For example Jay P. Shah MD will present the Myofascial Trigger Point (MTrP) research he and co-investigators at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting.</p> <p>Shah et al have determined that the palpable, discrete, hyper-irritable nodules (MTrPs) can be visualized using ultrasound and are stiffer than surrounding tissue. Furthermore, <strong>active</strong> MTrPs can be differentiated from latent MTrPs and unaffected muscle (e.g. active MTrP demonstrate unique blood flow waveform characteristics, display a larger surface area and elevated levels of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, catecholamines, and cytokines – substances associated with sensitization and persistent pain).</p> <p>Assessing for and treating MTrPs is nothing new to most MT’s but now the commonly recognizable palpable and patient subjective evaluation indicators can be supported by an additional objective, repeatable, reliable and <strong>inter-professionally recognized</strong> diagnostic test.</p> <p>Furthermore, perhaps discernable changes (for the better) following manual treatment of MTrPs may also be visualized – supporting the efficacy of manual MTrP techniques.</p> <p>The MTrP research being conducted by Shah and his co-investigators is of significant importance to MT’s from a perspective of assessment evaluation, supporting the viability of MT and improving treatment outcomes. This in turn supports our commitment to Best Practices and to continually improving our quality of care.</p> <p>The 2012 FRC3 has sold out, but you can still expand your knowledge and skill-set and improve your quality of care by exploring all the FRC related materials.

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

What does that mean and how does it help massage therapy? According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

And important and viable Massage Therapy (MT) evidential information may come from some not so obvious places; for example<strong> &#8211; The 3<sup>rd</sup> International Fascia Research Congress (FRC3). </strong></p> <p>This may in part be due to the fact that the <strong>Massage Therapy Association of British Columbia (MTABC)</strong> is hosting this event and <strong>The Massage Therapy Foundation</strong> is a Silver Sponsor.</p> <p>Although <em>fascia</em> is the focus of this event – much of what is being presented is applicable to any Massage Therapist – even if your practice is not ‘fascial’ focused (e.g. Structural Integration/Rolf Method, KMI, MFR, Fascial Manipulation, Bindgeweb etc.).</p> <p>Fascia &#8211; the soft-tissue aspect of connective tissue &#8211; has a relationship with all of the other structures/systems commonly addressed within the context of a MT practice (e.g. muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, joint capsule, nerves etc.).</p> <p>Any practitioner addressing soft-tissue related issues can benefit from the information coming out of the FRC3 as there are a number of keynote presentations, panel sessions and post conference workshops that are clinically relevant to a MT practice.</p> <p>For example Jay P. Shah MD will present the Myofascial Trigger Point (MTrP) research he and co-investigators at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting.</p> <p>Shah et al have determined that the palpable, discrete, hyper-irritable nodules (MTrPs) can be visualized using ultrasound and are stiffer than surrounding tissue. Furthermore, <strong>active</strong> MTrPs can be differentiated from latent MTrPs and unaffected muscle (e.g. active MTrP demonstrate unique blood flow waveform characteristics, display a larger surface area and elevated levels of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, catecholamines, and cytokines – substances associated with sensitization and persistent pain).</p> <p>Assessing for and treating MTrPs is nothing new to most MT’s but now the commonly recognizable palpable and patient subjective evaluation indicators can be supported by an additional objective, repeatable, reliable and <strong>inter-professionally recognized</strong> diagnostic test.</p> <p>Furthermore, perhaps discernable changes (for the better) following manual treatment of MTrPs may also be visualized – supporting the efficacy of manual MTrP techniques.</p> <p>The MTrP research being conducted by Shah and his co-investigators is of significant importance to MT’s from a perspective of assessment evaluation, supporting the viability of MT and improving treatment outcomes. This in turn supports our commitment to Best Practices and to continually improving our quality of care.</p> <p>The 2012 FRC3 has sold out, but you can still expand your knowledge and skill-set and improve your quality of care by exploring all the FRC related materials.

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }

What does that mean and how does it help massage therapy? According to Wikipedia, “Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available online to the reader without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.&#8221;</p> <p>Online journals that are not open access generally charge for each article to be seen in its entirety. For example, if you are looking for a study on osteoarthritis and massage therapy in <a href="http://www.pubmed.gov" target="_blank">PubMed</a> you will find at least one free article, but you will also find articles that you need to pay for, generally as much as $35 per download. So you can see why some research never reaches those who would otherwise be able to use it in their practice or to make decisions about their health.</p> <p>The IJTMB is a no-fee open access journal. This means that the author is not paid for submitting an article, nor required to pay the journal for publishing an article. It also means that the reader is not required to pay for reading or downloading the full article. The huge advantage here is that the work is available to everyone, everywhere without the need for a journal subscription or a university library subscription. This benefits the researcher by getting her or his work out to the masses; it benefits other researchers who are researching the same or similar topic; it benefits the public (reader, student, teacher, client) because they have easy access to information that is important to them, no matter the reason; and it benefits the tax payer because many studies are funded by tax payer money &#8211; this way they don’t have to pay twice to read the article.</p> <p>Beware that not all open access journals are equal. There have been stories recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education about some journals that are “predatory.” That is, they don’t follow customary scholarly procedures in publishing articles, and their focus is on profit rather than academic scholarship. Be assured that the IJTMB follows all of the rigorous procedures for peer-reviewed journals.</p> <p>As a peer-reviewed open access journal, the IJTMB provides high quality research studies and educational articles to help the massage therapist stay abreast of research in the field so they can use research to maintain evidence-informed practices.</p> <p>You can read the most recent issue of IJTMB, and subscribe to receive notification of future issues, at <a href="http://www.ijtmb.org" target="_blank">www.ijtmb.org</a>.</p> <img

Along with <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/meet-ann-blair-kennedy-mtf-trustee/">Ann Blair Kennedy</a>, Dolly joined the MTF board on March 1, 2012. She is the American Massage Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Board representative to the MTF, as AMTA is the Foundation’s Sustaining Benefactor. Dolly resides in Muskegon, Michigan, where she practices massage therapy full time. Below are her answers to four questions I asked her about her involvement with the MTF.</p> <div id="attachment_2353" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2353" title="MTF Trustee Dolly Wallace on vacation with her husband" src="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DollyWallace.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="360" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dolly on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, with her husband John</p></div> <p><strong>How did you first hear about the Massage Therapy Foundation?</strong></p> <p><em>I first heard about MTF through AMTA publications in the early 1990&#8242;s.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Explain how you first got involved with the Foundation and the progression to Trustee/volunteer.</strong></p> <p><em>I became involved when I served on the AMTA National Board of Directors 1996-1999. At that time, we were the mirror board for the Foundation. During those years I learned a tremendous amount about the Foundation; its purpose, its goals, its needs, its values and the impact of research on our profession. I was so impressed that I made a five year commitment to contribute financially as an individual donor. Needless to say, those five years have come and gone and I continue to donate annually. It is my belief that without the financial support from our massage community the Foundation would be unable to do the work it does.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>How has the Foundation impacted you as a professional?</strong></p> <p><em>As a practitioner, the Foundation offers me numerous resources to help educate my clients as well as myself. Whether we are talking to our clients, our colleagues or those in other health care fields, it is comforting to know the MTF offers us access to tools and research data that substantiate and support what we do.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>What would you like others to know about the MTF?</strong></p> <p><em>I would like others to know that resources are at our fingertips and encourage everyone to visit the MTF web site and take advantage of its offerings.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To learn more about all of the MTF Trustees, <a

And important and viable Massage Therapy (MT) evidential information may come from some not so obvious places; for example<strong> &#8211; The 3<sup>rd</sup> International Fascia Research Congress (FRC3). </strong></p> <p>This may in part be due to the fact that the <strong>Massage Therapy Association of British Columbia (MTABC)</strong> is hosting this event and <strong>The Massage Therapy Foundation</strong> is a Silver Sponsor.</p> <p>Although <em>fascia</em> is the focus of this event – much of what is being presented is applicable to any Massage Therapist – even if your practice is not ‘fascial’ focused (e.g. Structural Integration/Rolf Method, KMI, MFR, Fascial Manipulation, Bindgeweb etc.).</p> <p>Fascia &#8211; the soft-tissue aspect of connective tissue &#8211; has a relationship with all of the other structures/systems commonly addressed within the context of a MT practice (e.g. muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, joint capsule, nerves etc.).</p> <p>Any practitioner addressing soft-tissue related issues can benefit from the information coming out of the FRC3 as there are a number of keynote presentations, panel sessions and post conference workshops that are clinically relevant to a MT practice.</p> <p>For example Jay P. Shah MD will present the Myofascial Trigger Point (MTrP) research he and co-investigators at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting.</p> <p>Shah et al have determined that the palpable, discrete, hyper-irritable nodules (MTrPs) can be visualized using ultrasound and are stiffer than surrounding tissue. Furthermore, <strong>active</strong> MTrPs can be differentiated from latent MTrPs and unaffected muscle (e.g. active MTrP demonstrate unique blood flow waveform characteristics, display a larger surface area and elevated levels of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, catecholamines, and cytokines – substances associated with sensitization and persistent pain).</p> <p>Assessing for and treating MTrPs is nothing new to most MT’s but now the commonly recognizable palpable and patient subjective evaluation indicators can be supported by an additional objective, repeatable, reliable and <strong>inter-professionally recognized</strong> diagnostic test.</p> <p>Furthermore, perhaps discernable changes (for the better) following manual treatment of MTrPs may also be visualized – supporting the efficacy of manual MTrP techniques.</p> <p>The MTrP research being conducted by Shah and his co-investigators is of significant importance to MT’s from a perspective of assessment evaluation, supporting the viability of MT and improving treatment outcomes. This in turn supports our commitment to Best Practices and to continually improving our quality of care.</p> <p>The 2012 FRC3 has sold out, but you can still expand your knowledge and skill-set and improve your quality of care by exploring all the FRC related materials.

The more experience I gain as a massage therapist, the more I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. I’m not just thinking of communication between clients and therapists. There are many different types of communications, entities and connections within our field.  One of those is the flow of information from our practices to other professional entities, and I believe that is one line of communication that deserves a lot more attention.<strong> By writing a case report, practitioners can clearly communicate their clinical reasoning and outcomes for a specific interesting case, and it is my hope that more of us will recognize the importance of this activity.</strong></p> <p>To encourage others to write case reports, I wrote a little easy-to-read eBook. Part of the book is a personal story of what I went through in writing a case report, and another part provides tools, tips and resources that practitioners can use to help them write their own. The resource list is something that I wish someone had given me when I first thought about doing a case report, so I’m optimistic that it will help other practitioners. If you decide to write a case report, you can be assured that you will learn a lot, and you will be better off because of it in many ways.</p> <p>You can read the eBook for free in one of two ways: <a

Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, recently </strong>published two research articles on the promising study results of an adjunctive somatic therapy for women’s substance use disorder treatment.  Dr. Price’s research is focused on the study of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), a touch-based protocol that she developed to facilitate embodiment and somatically-based tools for self-care. The first article addresses the implementation of MABT in community treatment and acceptability to participants and clinic staff (<a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0126" target="_blank">see Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, articles in press</a>).  The second article presents the change in health outcomes compared to the control comparison of usual care (<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740547211001863">see Journal of Substance Use Disorder Treatment, articles  in press</a>).</p> <p>Other interests of Dr. Price include conceptual and scale development in the area of body and interoceptive awareness. She is also committed to community-based research to examine intervention implementation within the context of real-life situations. For example, she is currently funded to examine the massage experience and characteristics of Somali women immigrants attending a community massage program.  In the past, she  received an <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/blog/community-service-grants-winners/bodywork-for-the-homeless/">MTF Community Service Grant</a> to enhance the education and outreach to massage therapists working with homeless and unemployed Seattle residents.</p> <p>Dr. Price was in private practice as a massage and body-oriented therapist for 20 years before becoming a bodywork researcher. She is the Chair of the MTF’s Research Grant Review Committee, is on the MTF’s Research Conference Planning Committee, and she will be speaking at the <a href="http://www.massagetherapyfoundation.org/massage-research/research-conference/">2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference</a> (IMTRC) about the underlying mechanisms of massage (i.e., factors that influence how massage works).</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MassageTherapyFoundationBlog/~4/AA5Ul32nubI" height="1" width="1"/>" ["attribs"]=> array(0) { }
