Customer Reviews
Good brain stimulation and fun!
As a career massage therapist and bodyworker I enjoy every episode of this show. They make me think about what am I really doing and what do I think I’m doing. It also raises questions about what I was told I was doing when I went to massage school and what I told others we were doing when I taught at massage schools in comparison to what research says is likely happening.
Highly recommended, especially as most of my clients don’t know or care about the science of massage, this show keeps me in tune with that after a day of providing that Zen space for my clients
Wonderful podcast!
It is refreshing to hear thoughtful, intelligent conversations in the field of massage. Til and Whitney are friendly, compassionate and fun to listen to. Thank you both for putting your hard work into this podcast! Beautiful job.
Educational and informative podcast
I enjoy so many of these episodes! Many technical and functional episodes I have re-listened to multiple times. Whitney asks thoughtful questions that require in depth answers from his guests.
