Thoughts From Our
Winners
 Working
on my case report was the
most fun I had in massage
school―truly. I have a
strong background in science
research and medical
reporting. When I heard
about the MTF case report
contest, I thought I can do
research! I can write! and
I was off and running.
During the craziness of
learning so many new things
in school, the case report
was my refuge. I prowled the
med-school library, read
journal articles and
textbooks, and wrote ten
drafts of my report. It was
so much fun! I even learned
by working on my client, a
dwarf, how many of the quick
tests and body landmarks we
learn in massage really
apply to the subset of
clients who are tall or of
average height.
Amy Axt Hanson - 2009 Gold
Award Winner
 "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!"
Jenny Dailey - 2008
Silver Award Winner
"Participating in the Massage
Therapy Foundation's student case report contest was a
very intense and rewarding challenge. It gave me the
confidence to pursue more research as a therapist."
