Folding Towels - A Podcast for Massage Therapists with Jackie and David
Join us as Jackie and David reflect on the 2026 Massage & Myotherapy Australia National Conference in Geelong. This year's theme, Multidisciplinary Healthcare for Chronic Pain, brought together massage therapists, myotherapists, researchers, physiotherapists, and other allied health professionals to explore where soft tissue therapy fits within modern pain care. We share our highlights from the weekend, including presentations on osteoarthritis, chronic pain education, lived experience, and the evolving role of massage within healthcare teams. We also discuss key takeaways from workshops, the value of professional connection, and why no single practitioner can be all things to all people when working with chronic pain. Whether you joined us in Geelong or couldn't make it this year, this episode offers a fun look at the ideas, conversations, and lessons that stood out the most to us.
