In “So What? I Already Knew That,” the Guest Editorial in MASSAGE Magazine‘s November 2011 issue, Ruth Werner discusses the importance of research to the massage profession and individual massage therapists.

“We are living in a time of unprecedented energy being dedicated to good quality research about massage—and massage therapists who feel it doesn’t apply to them are missing out on amazing opportunities to enrich their practices and build their businesses,” Werner writes. “I urge you to visit www.massagetherapyfoundation.org. The Massage Therapy Foundation is our profession’s nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the knowledge and practice of massage therapy by supporting scientific research, education and community service.”
