  • Introducing IJTMB's Trigger Points: Topical Dialogue amongst Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork Practitioners and Educators.
    International journal of therapeutic massage & bodywork, 2014
    Co-Authors: Whitney Lowe, Niki Munk, Antony Porcino
    Abstract:

    The International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (IJTMB) has as its core a key interest in and mission to develop the practice of therapeutic massage and Bodywork by contributing to the field’s body of knowledge. The IJTMB Editorial Board understands that one’s daily practice provides the initial testing ground for the development of practice-based knowledge and, ultimately, expertise. Consequently, this practice-based knowledge and experience provides fertile ground for research ideas that further refine our understanding and come full circle to enhance clinical efficacy. Ultimately, without discourse and knowledge transference, the possibility of growing the body of knowledge for therapeutic massage and Bodywork or stimulating research in the field is lost. To facilitate discourse and transference of knowledge within the field of therapeutic massage and Bodywork, the IJTMB is launching a new journal component entitled Trigger Points: Topical Dialogue amongst Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork Practitioners and Educators. The purpose of IJTMB’s Trigger Points is to “trigger” the sharing and discussion of knowledge and expertise among therapeutic massage and Bodywork practitioners, educators, and researchers about different approaches to treating specific conditions or addressing specific population issues. Each IJTMB issue, starting with this issue, will include a call for responses to the next Trigger Points topic. Publication of the results for each topic will be in the second issue after the initial call for submissions. With your participation, these IJTMB Trigger Points columns will spark dynamic dialogue, perhaps even collaborations, in the therapeutic massage and Bodywork field across practitioners, educators, and researchers.

  • Methodological issues in the scientific investigation of massage and Bodywork therapy: Part I
    Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2003
    Co-Authors: Claire M Cassidy, Jacqueline A Hart
    Abstract:

    The original version of this four-part paper was first commissioned by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) Foundation to serve as background for the Massage Research Agenda Workgroup (MRAW). The Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization of the AMTA committed to ‘advancing the knowledge and practice of massage therapy by supporting scientific research, education, and community service’. The MRAW consisted of health care professionals from diverse backgrounds (including body workers, social scientists, and research scientists) who gathered for a 3-day conference in March of 1999 to compile and submit appropriate, as well as realistic, research goals in the field of massage therapy and Bodywork. Assumed in this agenda is the value of research for all health care professions, including massage. As stated in the Executive Summary of the MRAW recommendations, ‘rigorously controlled and replicated research is a key to the professionalization of any health care field’. Also explicit in the MRAW recommendations is the necessity that research conducted in massage therapy and Bodywork truly reflect the profession and ultimately serve its clients. A few of the goals of the MRAW are as follows:

  • Census of Bodyworkers and movement therapists in Vermont, USA
    Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 1998
    Co-Authors: J.m. Mcpartland
    Abstract:

    Abstract The number of Bodyworkers and movement therapists in Vermont, USA was estimated by searching for advertisements (yellow pages, newspapers and magazines, business cards and brochures), surveying membership lists (e.g. Vermont Massage Guild) and reviewing state registrations (e.g. the roster of licensed chiropractors). This search was supplemented by careful word-of-mouth canvassing. We located 609 Vermonters who practise at least one of 62 different types of Bodywork or movement therapy. Most practitioners were women (66%), and practised more than one type of Bodywork. Classic Western massage therapists were the most prevalent practitioners, followed by chiropractors, practitioners of Asian styles of Bodywork, and nurses using therapeutic touch. On a per-capita basis, there is one practitioner per 960 Vermonters (or 164 practitioners per 100 000 population). Extrapolating this Vermont census to a nationwide estimate of practitioners suggests there are over 273 700 Bodyworkers and movement therapists practising in the USA.
