Christin Sadler: Massage myths & research (EP158)

During this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Christin Sadler.. Christin is a Massage Therapist, Ph.D student, researcher and professor at the University of Ottawa, in Ontario, Canada. During this episode Christin I discuss the myths within the Massage Therapy profession. Throughout this episode Christin discusses how to better evaluate information whether this be formal research, or information online. We also discuss published work Christin has either published, or been a part of. These topics include sleep, research mobilizations and central drivers for fatigue (which was particularly interesting for me). How have you come to better understand research? Comment below. _ *Episode Resources* Behm, D. G., Blazevich, A. J., Kay, A. D., & McHugh, M. (2016).
