  • The Benefits of Massage
    2025/04/09
    A lot is made of the potential benefits of massage. Unfortunately, the camp has established firm roots to a lot of other pseudoscience. There seems to be legitimate benefits to getting massage, even beyond the fact that they make us feel good. Let's do the good science to see how we can leverage massage to help the people who would benefit from it the most. And booooo pseudoscience.RecommendationsAbraham: My Old Ass (https://www.mgm.com/movies/my-old-ass)Shane: Whiplash (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2582802/) Holidays (04/09/25):Appomattox DayChinese Almond Cookie DayDay of the Finnish LanguageInternational ASRM DayInternational Day of PinkJenkins Ear DayJumbo DayName Yourself DayNational Cherish an Antique DayNational Chicken Little Awareness DayNational Dive Bar DayNational Former Prisoner of War Recognition DayNational Gin and Tonic DayNational Unicorn DayWinston Churchill DayBat Appreciation WeekBe Kind to Spiders WeekExplore Your Career Options WeekInternational Trombone WeekNational Bake WeekNational Dental Hygienist WeekNational Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness WeekNational Robotics WeekLinks and References:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/lifespan-perspectives/202201/massage-therapy-mental-healthhttps://www.nuhs.edu/4-mental-benefits-of-massage-therapy/https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/massage-for-depression-anxiety-and-stresshttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6715325/https://www.apa.org/monitor/julaug02/massagehttps://www.researchgate.net/profile/Qais-Gasibat/publication/318929943_Determining_the_Benefits_of_Massage_Mechanisms_A_Review_of_Literature/links/59862ea5aca27266ad9f7178/Determining-the-Benefits-of-Massage-Mechanisms-A-Review-of-Literature.pdf?_sg%5B0%5D=started_experiment_milestone&origin=journalDetailhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1836955315000582https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/acm.2011.0643https://www.painscience.com/articles/massage-therapy-side-effects.phphttps://www.grandeprairiephysiotherapy.com/what-are-the-cons-and-pros-of-massage-therapyhttps://www.benimassage.com/risks-of-massage/https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/deep-tissue-massage-benefitshttps://massageluxe.com/franchise_blog/spa-owner-salary/#:~:text=Recent%20research%20indicates%20massage%20therapy%20is%20an,industry%20projections%20that%20were%20set%20in%202005. https://www.concorde.edu/blog/rich-history-massage-therapy https://www.healthline.com/health/how-to-increase-oxytocin#massage Rapaport, M.

  • Mini: Author Book-Signings
    2025/04/07
    A signed copy of a first edition book might fetch you a high price down the road. But why? How does a signature increase the resale value of a book when it doesn't even increase the MSRP of a book? Is it even worth it for authors to spend dozens or even hundreds of hours signing books? We talk about the effect of authors signatures on books and why it increases the value and desirability.
