Research and evidence in massage

As a massage practitioner, I have always been interested in the intersection between practice and medical research. When I returned to grad school, it was an opportunity to learn more about evaluating research evidence, and to apply that to the body of research in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).

One of the things I want to blog about is what exists in that intersection, as well as what remains to be done. Below are some slides from a PowerPoint presentation I gave recently; I'll go back later and fill in some explanatory notes.
