Customer Reviews
This is a great resource for Massage Therapists!
I always look forward to hearing from Ruth Werner, Niki Munk, and Michael Reynolds! These podcasts help me understand MT research more. I also use this with my students in the classroom for educating them about Research Findings and issues related to creating Case Studies and Research Protocols. Thank you! P>
I love Research Perch
This podcast breaks down research topics into easily understandable information that is instantly applicable to my hands-on massage practice. It’s often great info to share with clients and inspiring to see how accessible research really is.
Every massage therapist and bodyworker can benefit from this podcast, and at 20 minutes or less per episode, I can easily fit into my commute or listen while cleaning my office :)
