Massage science will bring you the latest research and feature discussions about the science of massage, touch and current pain science. 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 30-60 minutes long.
