Here at Curran Massage Treatment we had been discussing massage research for some time. We did our best to assure that the methods and techniques we use were backed up by research. When we couldn’t go any further on our own, we relied on leaders in the field to interpret the research for us. In college my classes in the hard sciences gave me a sense of certainty, and my graduate degrees did the same. But in massage, one publication says one thing, and another says something else. When a friend of mine recommended a graduate degree program in one of the soft sciences, I immediately blew him off. I didn’t need more ambiguity. But after thinking about, it looked like something useful, both for me and for the massage business. I signed up for school again.

Traditional academic research is usually performed at universities and nonprofit organizations with public funding. Francis Collins, leader of the Human Genome Project, represents traditional science as his program is dedicated to the enhancement of knowledge for the common good, recognition, and awards. Conversely, science produced by pharmaceutical and technology companies is almost always motivated by the potential profits
Over the years I've worked on a lot of side projects. You get this idea in your head and run with it for a few days or weeks with reckless abandon. Sometimes you even manage to produce something. But, at least for me, more often than not, I never actually finish the project. Either I'll lose whatever spark of creativity was driving me, or the project turns out to be too difficult to complete.
