  • Episode 077: Massage Meets Research: Building an Evidence Base for Massage
    2024/11/19
    In this enlightening episode of the Folding Towels Podcast, Jackie and David dive deep into the world of massage therapy research with three inspiring guest speakers: Rona Moore, Dr. Jan Douglass, and Dr. Sarah Fogarty. Together, they discuss how therapists can engage with research, the value of case studies, the limitations of traditional research paradigms, and the growing recognition of massage as a legitimate and evidence-based healthcare practice. Whether you're a seasoned therapist or just starting out, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge to inspire your journey into the research world. Rona Moore Rona kicks off the conversation by highlighting the many ways therapists can engage with research without needing a formal academic pathway. She explains the value of small-scale research projects like case studies and quality improvement initiatives in shaping practice and contributing to the broader massage community. Rona introduces concepts such as grey literature, which includes blogs, trade journals, and conference posters, as accessible platforms for sharing insights. Her passion for fostering curiosity and critical thinking in therapists shines through, making her insights both practical and motivating. Dr. Jan Douglass Dr. Jan Douglass delves into the complexities and limitations of traditional research paradigms, particularly for chronic conditions and massage therapy. She discusses how the reliance on randomized controlled trials often overlooks the nuanced, individualized nature of therapeutic work. Drawing on her vast experience with lymphatic research and global health initiatives, Dr. Douglass explains the importance of exploring alternative research designs that capture real-world efficacy. Her call to embrace practice-based evidence and case studies is a compelling reminder that meaningful research is not one-size-fits-all. Dr. Sarah Fogarty Dr. Sarah Fogarty brings the episode to a close with her firsthand experiences as a massage researcher with over 40 publications. She shares her journey into research, highlighting the challenges and rewards of building a career in an underfunded and emerging field. Dr. Fogarty emphasizes the role of mixed-methods research in capturing both quantitative outcomes and the therapeutic relationship at the heart of massage. She also provides practical advice for therapists interested in research, from conducting case studies to navigating ethics and grant applications. Her passion for advancing massage therapy through evidence-based insights is both inspiring and actionable. ** Support the Show ** If you have gotten value from the show, consider sending a small token of appreciation our way: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/foldingtowelspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** Connect with Jackie and David *** Do you want to reach out to us? ⁠⁠⁠Head to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and fill in the contact form. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://foldingtowelspodcast.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and ⁠⁠on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/FoldingTowelsPodcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/foldingtowels_podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme Music: Simon Pettersson "All Alone" (2020), Licensed use through Audio Hero Inc

  • Episode 076: Should You Offer Discounts? And How To Discount Strategically?
    2024/11/12

    In this episode, David and Jackie dive into the complex topic of discounting for massage therapists, discussing when it makes sense and how to avoid undervaluing your services. They share practical strategies, like referral discounts, loyalty programs, and limited-time promotions, to attract clients without compromising your worth. David recounts real-life examples where thoughtful discounting helped his business, while Jackie emphasizes the importance of clear goals and strategy. They highlight the risks of platforms like Groupon, which can attract deal-chasing clients rather than loyal ones. By communicating openly with clients and using tools like email marketing, they suggest ways to build a strong client base without relying heavily on discounts. This episode offers valuable insights for therapists wanting to grow sustainably, focusing on strategies that enhance value over cutting costs.
