This post is a follow-up to yesterday’s “Things” from the Pain Summit (Literally); another means of extracting information from the 1811 tweets from the San Diego Pain Summit 2017. This time I took the 100 top words from the Pain Summit tweets, excluding the first word, which was pain. Other than as a consistency check, […]
A couple of weeks ago, I spent two days at the San Diego Pain Summit, to listen, tweet, and archive tweets from the conference and adjoining workshops. The purpose of the 2017 summit, as was the case for the prior two years, is to bridge pain research and manual therapy. I could say that it […]
We live in a strange age; an age in which science and technology are providing us new knowledge and capabilities in many areas of endeavor but also an age in which a significant number of people are rejecting scientific thinking in favor of belief-based narratives. While the scientific process stems from observations leading to conceptual […]
When it comes to the electromagnetic spectrum, I tend to view things from the perspective of an atmospheric or astro- physicist. Normally, to me, the term far infrared means that part of the infrared spectrum at wavelengths longer than 25µm (one µm being one-millionth of a meter). This page at Cal Tech gives the astrophysical use […]
It’s far from an easy task to reshape something that is not exactly a health care profession toward being one. The task becomes even more challenging when the tool of choice is voluntary education. This, however, appears to be the challenge taken on by the Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF). As the MTF expresses it, “It […]

However, the description of project motivations contains the statement that inconsistencies in massage education have resulted in “too many massage school graduates who experience short, […]
Much of the impetus for the collapse of the top newsroom managers was credited to the Internet on which many of the Times employees posted the complaints that had been ignored. Staff members who used the open architecture of the new medium to become “the outside voice” provided a check on internal behavior. Along with […]
In March, the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) proposed a significant change to state requirements for continuing education (CE). They have termed this proposal MOCC, for Maintenance Of Core Competence.The FSMTB is accepting feedback on the proposal through 30 April. Looking at reactions to the MOCC proposal, the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals […]
California does not require state licensing to practice massage therapy, but instead offers, via the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), a state-law authorized, voluntary certification that exempts the holders from local licensing laws. In return, certificants undergo education verification and extensive background checks. Because of this voluntary regulatory structure, there’s no centralized means of reliably […]
