  <description><![CDATA[Thankyou Jennie, I haven't engaged with any of the covid recommendations on returning to work. This is my first point of entry reading your blog. I feel very reassured and encouraged to start moving towards CPD and preparing for the time when I can massage with confidence again.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Hi Mobile Massage Services - there's no quick answer to your question. I suggest you refer to your professional association for more guidance or the General Council for Soft Tissue Therapies (GCMT): http://www.gcmt.org.uk/.

  <description><![CDATA[Hi! 

Quick question from a massage therapist: what can you do not to loose clients due to this pandemic? We have a small business, https://www.timeforamassage.co.uk/, and we just want to get back in the game.

Thanks!]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I am sure that most practitioners struggle, at least initially, with the reality that giving, as beautiful as it may be, does not automatically bring a return. I sincerely desire to be able to give generously, as well as survive financially.  I haven't yet qualified, but I will follow up when I have.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I'd would like to second what Earle has said above.

This inaugural convention was an excellent starting point to help us move towards a more integrative and holistic appreciation of health and wellbeing.  By bringing together the allopathic medical world with the complementary therapy world, Dr Toh Wong and Dr Naveed Akhtar succeeded in opening eyes, hearts and minds, and making us all think that much more about what we do.   

The various discussions about using complementary therapies to ease the burden on the NHS suggest this is going to be a keen area of debate of which the MTI and we as therapists need to be a part.  We will be continuing this debate as part of the MTI Conference next year.
 
I am in the throes of writing up my own thoughts and experiences of this fascinating weekend which included some invaluable insights from a GP's perspective about why they don't refer to complementary therapies and also what could be done to encourage them to do so. I will be writing an article about this very shortly!  

I agree that we do need to think about what we do differently to fit the situation. But perhaps there is also a need for a PARADIGM SHIFT in how we deal with health and wellbeing?  

We could be thinking about how we promote good health and wellbeing (and take a truly holistic view of a person - body-mind-emotions-spirit as one), rather than focusing on how we treat ill-health.  And how we could be using other models of working, eg. social prescribing, and community health 'triaging' to make alternatives available to people.  To quote Henry Ford and Tony Robbins, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got."  This first Integrative Health Convention has invited us all to think differently.]]></description>

  <link>https://www.massagetraining.co.uk/news/blog/35/#comment17</link>
  <description><![CDATA[Like Sue I am also a psychotherapist. In this profession supervision is mandatory. It’s many years ago when I ran the first workshop in MTI to help our trainers get a handle on why it’s so important to have someone to go to and share triumphs and challenges.  ‘Two heads are better than one’  is the bottom line. 

So often I hear my students and supervisees mention that massage work can be lonely at times. If you are a member of MTI it doesn’t have to be. I’m delighted to see the recent encouragement for our members to seek supervision. It should be an enriching and insightful process and also worthwhile and enjoyable. Like Sue, I see two learners in the room. We both grow; the supervisee and the supervisor. It’s ok to enlist the help of another skilled and experienced practitioner; someone who might have been in the field longer than you. I’ve been having supervision for my work for 30 years. It’s saved me, supported me, developed me and much more. It is with my experience of how invaluable my supervision has been that helps me to offer it to others. I offer both group and individual supervision in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.]]></description>
