The New RMT Experience with Christian Lacsamana

Send us Fan MailWelcome Christian Lacsamana to Purves Versus and to the profession of massage therapy. Christian is a new RMT in Vancouver, BC. He was previously a kinesiologist who decided he wanted to pursue a career in massage therapy so he could offer additional benefits to his clients rather than just exercise and movement.Our conversation focuses on his experiences in school and what his first year of practice has been like. Christian shares what he enjoyed and what he felt could be improved upon in the curriculum and he tells us about the future endeavours he wants to pursue as an RMT.We discuss the mixed messaging in RMT education, the importance of language and communication styles, the importance of mental health and ongoing self-care and how creating a sense of community and support in embracing change in how continuing education is delivered is necessary for moving forward as a profession.To learn more about my virtual learning community, the Manual and Movement Therapist’s Community (MMTC) please visit here;https://ericpurves.lpages.co/mmtc-sales-page-1You can sign up free for your first month using the discount code, mmtcfree.Connect with [email protected]: @ericpurvesrmtIG: @eric_purves_rmtSubscribe to my email list.
