The New Generation Massage Therapist
The Massage Therapist Development Initiative is a platform for Massage Therapists and other Manual Therapists to learn more about research and becoming a more evidence-based practitioner. This is an opportunity to not only create a positive change in our profession but also for other therapists to create better outcomes in their practice and with their patients.

Episode #7 Trigger Points With Paul Ingraham
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week we have our second guest on the podcast the one and only Paul Ingraham.
Paul Ingraham is a Vancouver science journalist and publishing entrepreneur and a former Registered Massage Therapist. He left that profession over concerns about pseudoscientific beliefs and practices, and went on to create PainScience.com, a website about the science of pain, injury, treatment, and rehab. He has written hundreds of articles and ten books on these themes (and about half of those are about repetitive strain injuries). He’s also a reluctant runner and an avid ultimate player with a long list of his own sports injuries and pain problems. He is currently sheltering in place with his wife, still hiding from SARS-CoV-2, working on his next book and an endless supply of science updates to PainScience.com.
