"I
loved doing the research,
reading other people's
studies, poring through
articles, the whole
process! The challenge of
the work in practical
application and the rewards
of having a happy research
client made my school
experience so much more. I
have been reading about
massage research since
graduation, as it deepens my
practice and provides a firm
foundation for the work that
I do. Thank you, massage
researchers!"
