    There are many common misunderstandings about evidence based practice (EBP). It is not all about the reserach evidence, although that is a critical component.

    Join us for a critical conversation with Nadine Hawyrluk, where we clear up the common misunderstandings surrounding evidence-based practice and the new standards set by the CMTBC. We dissect the requirements for maintaining an evidence-based approach, from staying up-to-date with the latest research to ensuring learning activities are taught by knowledgeable instructors. This is your chance to refine your learning plans and improve your practice to meet these standards, ensuring your patients receive the best possible care.

    In this episode, Nadine and I address the nuanced challenges and contradictions that arise in evidence-based practices, focusing on differentiating current trends and techniques from those that simply rehash anatomical knowledge. We delve into the ethical implications of providing accurate information to patients, highlighting the responsibility of healthcare professionals to avoid perpetuating unverified treatment narratives. This conversation is essential for any RMT committed to ethical and informed practice.

    Curious about the claims surrounding prenatal care techniques like Spinning Babies? We scrutinize the evidence supporting such bold claims and discuss whether these practices fall within the scope of massage therapy. Moving toward the broader picture, we emphasize critical thinking in research evaluation, using polyvagal theory as a case study to demonstrate practical techniques for challenging preconceptions. Tune in to discover valuable resources for evidence-based practice and research evaluation, and arm yourself with the tools to scrutinize educational courses and their claims effectively. This episode is a must-listen for every RMT dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based care.
