Hearing your suggestions

I often write articles for Massage & Bodywork and I also write the back page column (Practitioner Parables.) I've brainstormed a bunch of ideas for future columns but I'd also be interested in hearing your suggestions here. Is there a topic you'd like me to address through the column? Is there an issue or aspect of politics or practice that you feel needs to be explored?

What topic would you like to read about and what are your thoughts and comments?

Thanks for your input,

Rob

Comment by Robert Chute on October 13, 2009 at 6:12pm: I generally skip the methodology and bite into the results. The only wrinkle with that is that for most MT research the n is way too small so they are little more than case studies and not research on a scale any real researcher wouyld take very seriously. Real research is way too expensive typically. Thanks for the kudos. I'm feeling good tomight.

Comment by Stephen Jeffrey on October 13, 2009 at 3:57pm: Is there an argument for breaking down massage research articles into a more MT digestable format?
MTs dont have time to read the whole darn thing so is there a halfway house that could suit Mts and researchers?
I have through this site waded through what seemed at the outset longwinded research waffle and been very rewarded with what I'd learnt.
I was v predujiced before hand and now feel a chump for not getting stuck into this article stuff before. I'm even more embarissed to say I have spoke to researcher Chriss moyer via this site and godamit he seems human!
He wrote http://www.ijtmb.org/index.php/ijtmb/article/view/30/39 asking for veiws in his blog = NO responce So I rehashed it on the forum in a way to get MTs to bite but again they ain't reading the article.

Robert you got the brain and the words to make this stuff attractive enough for MTs to read right the way through. You can bridge the language barrier.
