Legislation for Saskatchewan Massage Therapists is in the works. Sask will join 4 other regulated provinces with the objective of protecting the public while standardizing the quality of massage care across the country.

Esther Gokhale developed the Gokhale Method based on primal posture and believes that in the west we have lost sight of what constitutes healthy posture. She points to the fact that babies, our ancestors and some current cultures can move without pain. Here is one of the photo demonstrations she put together comparing bending postures of a child with adults in western and eastern cultures.

Here is the study that shows a great reduction in pain & stiffness alongside improved functionality in subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee. 66 subjects received a full body massage twice weekly for 4 weeks, then once weekly for 4 weeks while the control group received medication, exercise and hot/cold therapy. The massage therapy group found their pain and stiffness reduced by about 50%. It's interesting that for the study purposes the massage provided was to the full body. It is fair to suggest that outcomes could be even more significant if the massage targeted more specifically the knee and tissues of the legs. http://goo.gl/2YG2Jr

Research studies have shown that Therapeutic Massage is effective in reducing pain in osteoarthritis. This study looked at determining the "optimal-practical" application of the massage therapy - ie producing the greatest effect compared to cost and convenience. Results show one hour weekly to be better than 30 minutes twice q week. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0030248

Exercising like a maniac isn't going to offset an entire day of sitting. Better to engage in "light ambulation" - moving around at regular intervals. You can be fat and fit, thin and unfit, but not sedentary and healthy. http://goo.gl/9CCWah

Why the sedentary life is killing us A new study underscores the sobering truth that inactivity is wreaking havoc with our health. The good news is that even light and simple movement will help

Here, Anat Baniel, a student of Feldenkrais and founder of the Anat Baniel Method, describes NeuroMovement. When movement is done automatically, we deepen existing neural patterns. When we combine attention with movement, our brain wakes up and creates new neural connections. Developing new neural networks helps us upgrade our thinking and foster creativity. http://goo.gl/v8LY9l

About Anat Baniel The Anat Baniel Method (ABM) has two modalities: group movement exercises and one-on-one sessions with a trained ABM practitioner.

Proven health benefits of massage therapy: the studies cited describe the effectiveness of massage in reducing pain post surgery as well as for cancer and rheumatiod arthritis patients.

Massage Promotes Easier and Deeper Breathing | MassageTrainingPlus.com It has been consistently established in the medical community that massage therapy is an effective alternative form of treatment for muscle injuries and other physical maladies. What goes deeper than tissue and muscle repair, however, is so intrinsic and basic that it tends to be oft-ignore.

Even a short walk can boost ‘executive control’ Don’t sit for more than 30 minutes, experts say. Get up and move to boost strategic and creative thinking

Should You Drink Water After Massage? Only if you’re thirsty! Hydration and massage are not detoxification treatments.
