Massage Science (Formerly Purves Versus)
Massage science is the next iteration of the Purves Versus podcast. This is a podcast created for the massage, manual and movement therapist. Eric Purves is a massage therapist, educator, and researcher with a passion to have the massage and musculoskeletal professions embrace current science and start to realize their full potential to help improve well being.
Eric has been working tirelessly to inspire change in his profession and this podcast is another platform for him to express his thoughts, discuss the current science, and interview therapists on specific topics.
What makes this podcast different? Eric will be exploring topics that focus on the current science of touch, best practices for MSK care, and how this relates to the massage and manual therapy professions. New episodes are scheduled to be released every 2 weeks and they will be 30-45 minutes long.

The New RMT Experience with Christian Lacsamana
Welcome 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.
