Title: Exploring Utilization and Knowledge of, and Attitudes, Barriers and Supports to Evidence-Informed Massage Therapy
Grant amount: $5000
Grant received: May 2013
Project Summary: As a society, we expect professionals to be aware of the latest studies and use this information to stay current. This study proposes to investigate the extent to which Registered Massage Therapists in Ontario use evidence in their practices, what they think about evidence, and what perceived barriers and supports exist in relationship to evidence-informed practice. Results of this study will allow the profession to help RMTs use more evidence in practice to provide safe and effective care. |
