A couple of months ago my Aikido Sensei gave a lecture on Beginner’s Mind. He had his own story to tell, and that’s always nice to see him share with us. It almost makes him mortal ;)

His story struck a chord with me; it stuck with me long enough so that I could create my own story, or tale of woe. ;) Here’s my two cents worth:

There is a…

There have recently been some threads on facebook and other forums that question whether massage therapy research is needed and one of the opinions that spring from them is along the following:

"I don't need research because I see results in my practice. My work, my intuition and the education I have received is enough".

I can relate to this to some extent. In fact, I could nearly say that at one stage it would be very easy for me to slip into this mode of thinking. Most of us…

Missed Appointment Opportunities can cost you $10,000 a year!



According to industry statistics, the average one-hour massage is $65. If you only lost three appointment opportunities a week (no appointments scheduled/no shows/cancellations), you would stand to lose over $10,000 a year!

This one is going to be a long post since I'm trying to figure some things out and I'm just using this as a tool to do so. Hopefully some people will jump in with some information that might provide some enlightenment or education or even more questions (I'd actually also like to know if I'm not alone in my confusion!)

I'll start off by addressing what I call the FEP. What's the FEP? Well, it's my own acronym and it refers to the Famous Evidence Pyramid. Yep, I think…

It stinks to be in pain. I should know. I have had all sorts of chronic back pain, foot pain, hip, wrist and finger pain. There are only so many Advil one can take in a day and even that does not always seem to work. For some, living with the pain just becomes part of life, and with that, the body adjusts itself to accommodate the compensation... this of course, just exacerbates the pain, and makes a new thing hurt somewhere else. In my…

I am very sad to share with you the news of Giovanni DeDomenico's passing. I only heard of this recently, so my apologies for the late posting. I worked, as Elsevier Editor, with Dr. DeDomenico on the 5th and most recent edition of Beard's Massage. "Gion", as he asked us to call him, was extremely dedicated in his work and seemed to really enjoy the collaboration with his colleagues who contributed to the 5th edition. I remember his business e-mails to me always including something that…

"Hmmm...." can be said in many different ways, right?

It can be a good "Hmmmm...." from a "I gotta think about this" perspective. It can be a surprising "Hmmmm....." and unfortunately sometimes it can be a disappointing "Hmmmmmm...".

Here are a list of some of the things that got that reaction, the type of "Hmmmm...." and why!

* The role of massage therapy in public health. Hmm-Type: Made me think, had me ask questions of the big picture and where we're…

Yes.....it's all of the above with regards to the Massage Therapy Research in CIM conference.

I'm not going to blog about the whole conference in one post. It would be too long. Instead I'm going to divide the info from it up into chunks and give different perspectives into the what-I-got-from-it package.

The post-conference calm has brought on a flood of thoughts on many different things. How does all this information relate to my practice? How am I going to change from it?…
