Video Course: Findings from the Largest Research Review in Massage History

Ruth Werner

What does the research say about massage therapy and pain? Wouldn’t it be great if someone would put together all the high-quality studies to come up with some credible conclusions? It’s been done! In 2014 the Massage Therapy Foundation began the process of creating the largest systematic review of research about massage therapy for pain and function ever conducted. In this presentation you’ll get an overview of these comprehensive reports, with information on how to access them, what they mean, and how to apply the articles and associated databases for client outcomes and professional networking.
