Session 36 Debating On Social Media

Jun 07 2022 31 mins  
Does a day go by when you don't either see a "debate" occurring on socials, or even find yourself preparing to wade in on one side or another?  Especially in the world of massage and manual therapy, this seems to have become the norm and we at The Massage Collective certainly like to participate too!  But on reflection, what does this achieve?  What do we even think

Social Media for Therapy Business with Katie Warburton

May 14 2022 40 mins  
Social Media - now there's a mine field.  As massage therapists we're generally brilliant at what we do - massage!  We never trained in social media.  We've all got profiles on various platforms, but how do you ensure personal and business play nicely and convey the right messaging to potential clients?  Over to Katie Warburton, the ISRM's resident social media

Social Media - a tool for Education?

Apr 30 2022 19 mins  
Yes, we're back!  After a bit of a break we're back in the "studio" with a new format.  We're now producing 3 pods a month, two short 15 minute sound-bites, ideal for lunch breaks, and one longer form because we just have too much to say!  This month we're diving into Social Media for Massage Therapists, perhaps a bit of a departure from the norm for us but, as we ex

A 3-day conference in San Diego, during a wet and miserable February back home in England?  Where do we sign up?!

Session 31 - Communication in Clinic, with The LD Physio

Jan 22 2022 52 mins  
Communication skills.  One of those "soft skills" that we often give no more than a fleeting thought to - until we realise we lack them in a given context.  And an aspect of clinical practice that is given almost no consideration or air-time in a large proportion of massage related courses.  So after such a strong response to Session 30's CPD focus, where communicati

Session 30 - Why Bother With CPD?

Jan 08 2022 60 mins  
It's 2022, and rather than suggest all the new and exciting things we all aught to be doing as Therapists in this period of resolutions and "new year, new you" Becky and Matt provide some thoughts on CPD.  Continuing Professional Development (CE for our international colleagues) is such a ubiquitous term in massage therapy that it's intent, and what it entails has almost becom

Session 29 - Psychologically Informed Practice with Daniel Arbilla

Dec 04 2021 66 mins  
Psychologically Informed Practice - you might have come across the term, but what is it?   How can you start to apply it in clinic?  WHY should you start to apply it in clinic?  Daniel Arbilla is an Exercise Physiologist based in Sydney, Australia and visits the podcast to discuss all this and more with Anna Maria and Matt.      From the simi
