Please register here to access the recording of AMT webinar 'Should research consider massage as a process rather than a technique?', presented by Jenny Richardson on 21 July 2022.
Description
In this webinar Jenny Richardson will talk about the research she undertook through Charles Sturt University “What is effective in massage therapy? Well, “it depends…”: A qualitative study of experienced massage therapists”
In this interview-based research, Jenny talked to 6 experienced Australian massage therapists about what they considered to be important in determining the effectiveness of the treatment when working with clients with pain or injury. Research into massage often considers one technique or stroke at a time, but it is clear this is not how most massage therapists work. Even the NHMRC has called for research that better reflects the massage therapists’ work in the real world. Jenny will talk about what her participants said, how she analysed the information and what that might mean for future research. She hopes you will find that comments made by her participants represent aspects of what you might feel about how you work with your clients.
