Do you suffer from strain, pain, injury, or fatigue after your clinical practice?
According to “A Survey of Canadian Massage Therapists Experiences of Work-Related Pain” (Int J Ther Massage Bodywork. 2022 Sep; 15(3): 18–26. Published online 2022 Sep 1. doi: 10.3822/ijtmb.v15i3.717),
"An investigation into the work-related pain (WRP) experienced by Massage Therapists (MTs) in Ontario, Canada was undertaken using voluntary completion of an online questionnaire following broad distribution of requests.
The overwhelming majority (85%) of MTs had experienced, or were experiencing, WRP at one or more of five pre-identified, primary locations with the hand/wrist, the most common site (65.5%); followed by the fingers/thumb (60.3%), shoulder (55.0%), lower back (50.1%), and neck (49.2%). Females were significantly more likely to report neck and shoulder pain than males, and were significantly more likely to report WRP at a higher number of body locations, with approximately one in five female MTs reporting WRP at all (5) primary sites. On a 10-point pain-severity scale, females reported significantly higher perceived pain than males.
Work-related pain was attributed to the gradual onset of musculoskeletal conditions by 60.3% of respondents, with no other choice of cause being reported by more than 11.1%. There was clear indication of WRP impacting the lives of MTs, with 48% reporting an impact on activities of daily living, 31% reporting a loss of income, 54.6% working in pain, and 30.5% considering changing (or having changed) their profession. Various work adjustments to WRP were reported, including altered biomechanics and greater rest between patient treatments."

James went through the same issue mentioned above.
James developed trochanteric bursitis and biceps brachii tendinitis and suffered from pain while he was doing his clinical shifts during his school years, and had some difficulty with his school clinical internship.
However, after becoming an RMT, he spent many hours on research and clinical trials on how to prevent strain, fatigue and pain on the therapist's body, as well as how to treat patients with ease.
With his efforts, he developed innovative evidence-based treatment techniques thoroughly based on Biomechanics and Ergonomics that significantly reduce fatigue and strain on the therapist's body, preventing fatigue, pain, and injury.
With these treatment techniques, James can treat easily 10-12 patients a day without tiring or straining his body.
James wants to share the secrets of anti-strain techniques to prevent strain and pain on your body and the creative ways for more effective treatment through his courses.
