Today I feel like it’s prom and I don’t have a date.  I’m sitting at home and something amazing is happening elsewhere!  Do you know about it?  The 2013 International Massage Therapy Research Conference kicked off in Boston today.  I could not go this year.  The knowledge seeking geek in me is in a tizzy.  You can follow the conference on Twitter #IMTRC.   I’ll be doing it.

Here are the 2 main reasons I’m bummed because I’m at home:

The Information. 

Massage is evolving.  To stay on top of our field, we need to be stay in the know about the research!  Think there aren't massage myths still floating around?  Check some of them out here.  I was taught some of these myths and I’m sure you were as well. 

The ROCK STARS are there. 

Those massage therapists that are the shakers and the movers of our industry.  The type of therapists that push the boundaries and standards of massage to higher levels.   What an amazing environment to learn in.  It is an environment that provides us with tools to educate ourselves, our clients, and our communities. 

If you didn’t know about the conference, check it out.  Are you willing to make a commitment in going with me next year?
