Dear colleagues,
Welcome to JMS’s issue #3 of 2025! We invite you to learn about Massage Science.
In the section “Check Your Clinical Reasoning,” we published a clinical case where just visual observation gives the therapist a clue about what they are dealing with.
In the Medical Massage section, we published the following articles:
In Part II of Treating the Pain is Chasing the Tail, Dr. Ross Turchaninov returns to the discussion of the pain phenomenon and its control through Medical Massage. Part II is dedicated to functions and abnormalities of Nociceptors (a.k.a. pain receptors)
SOMI’s former student, Curt Lezanic, LMT, CMMP, from San Antonio, TX, sent us an interesting clinical case, Medical Massage in Case of Knee Replacement After the Femur’s Pathological Fracture.
In the Case of the Month section, we published an exceptional clinical case titled “Medical Massage vs Severe Neck and Shoulder Dysfunction,” submitted by Sandra Abbott, LMT, CMMP, from Lake Panasoffkee, FL. Sandra recently graduated from SOMI’s Medical Massage Certification Program, and readers can see firsthand the quality of SOMI’s training and the clinical expertise of our former and current students!
Thank you!
Dr. Ross Turchaninov, Editor in Chief
