Forrest and Monica, two therapists from the town of Nelson, BC, join me to discuss the  manual therapies like osteopathy, massage, and acupuncture. They share their journey from education to practice. With their stories, we have a  look into the art of listening and communicating, and how these skills contribute to effective patient care.

Our discussion explores the evidence and anecdotes behind manual therapies, as we consider the challenges of marrying traditional techniques with modern evidence-based practice. With Forrest and Monica's experiences, we illuminate the significant role of human touch in evoking therapeutic responses, and how it serves as a common thread across different therapeutic disciplines. Additionally, we'll navigate the intricacies of creating a calming clinic atmosphere that promotes wellness and the importance of your approach in eliciting a desired response in patients.

Lastly, we debate the delicate balance between ethics and compassion, sharing personal stories that highlight the power of personalized treatment. Monica introduces us to the "three legs of a stool" concept in patient communication, vital for ensuring a comprehensive approach to patient care. We also touch on the emotional aspect of physical illnesses and the necessity for a safe space where clients can express and process their emotions. This episode promises not just to enlighten but also to inspire both practitioners and patients in the continuous journey of healing and self-discovery.
