MTC-2010-01-08 #8 Back in the studio

Welcome to episode 8 of the Massage Therapist Central Podcast.

After an extended break, I am back in the studio and looking forward to the coming year. A little late I know, but I’d like to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous 2010. I hope everyone who had holiday’s over the Christmas / New Year period are fully refreshed. I hope you didn’t come back from holiday feeling like you needed one.

I recently saw a quote on Twitter which I quite liked

“Be a more effective therapist, don’t study more anatomy and more techniques! Study research and it’s results. Study anatomy to apply research”

It’s here, the new Featured segment is underway. This week we discuss the Alexander Technique.
