New protocols for concussion treatments →

I read this article from Outiside magazine the other day and felt the need to write about it quickly. This information needs to become viral. It's always unfortunate when important information like this takes so long to trickle down to primary healthcare professionals. I had no idea! I like to read (a lot), so I was mad that I hadn't read about this sooner. Oddly enough, I was chatting with a patient yesterday about our previous histories with concussions and she mentioned that when she was younger and recovering from a concussion, she felt so couped up that she started challenging herself with balance exercises and whatnot (i.e. ignoring the rest advise). Worked for her, and clearly active rehab works for most with concussions!

The article is quick, so please take a few moments to read it.

Thanks to Mike Reoch for posting the link to the article in our Massage Therapy facebook group.

Massage Therapy Education

What do Massage Therapists learn in school?

Sometimes people refer to a RMT as a masseuse. I try not to take it personally when people say it, it isn't their fault that they don't know how much we study here in BC. A degree in Massage Therapy would be helpful!! An article came out recently that compared the education hours (by subject) for the major health professions from the top ranked programs in North America. Two of the programs were local (Massage Therapy and Naturopathic Medicine)! It was amazing to see the what we learn(ed) compared to the other professions. Take a peak at the article here, and see why we are referred to as Massage Therapists (RMTs) in BC (also in Ontario and Newfoundland/Labrador), and not simply as masseuses.
