Massage Therapy Canada is excited to welcome Michael Feraday, Executive Director of the RMTAO as one of our highlighted speakers at this year’s event. Michael Feraday will be speaking about some of the RMTAO’s advocacy efforts and how those efforts can impact RMTs directly in their practice. Massage therapy is increasing in popularity and is one of the most used paramedical benefits, and this shows a recognition by the public of the benefits of massage therapy. Michael will be speaking about the RMTAO’s efforts to increase that recognition as well as make massage therapy more accessible. For example, the RMTAO is advocating with health leaders to integrate RMTs in provincially funded health teams like Ontario Health Teams, Family Health Teams and Community Health Teams, which are all areas where other health professionals work. Inclusion in these teams will increase awareness of value of RMTs as health professionals and give the public yet another way to access massage therapy care.

I’ve seen three cases of necrotizing fasciitis (NF) in my career, all after the fact. These patients recalled their pain the same way Florence was describing it to me now – it was so unusual, so intense and so coloured with shades of fear and dread. I knew it was critical that she get to the hospital for emergency care because NF can and does go bad very quickly. Then she told me that this mystery pain started two days after her total knee replacement surgery – and that was four years ago. So I wouldn’t be calling 911, but I did need to know more. Over all this time, what has her doctor said and done? Try this drug, then this one, then a different one. Nothing has worked to relieve her pain in any meaningful way and they all otherwise made her feel awful inside.

Osteopathy, and Bowen therapy in particular, emphasizes the importance of making therapeutic pauses during treatments. But it is not explained why a pause should be incorporated into the treatment session, just that it is important to do so.
This book is based on research which attempted to understand and identify the physiology that might justify the inclusion of pauses during treatment. It also looked at how much the pause was used within osteopathic treatment in general.
